MIDWEST FASTENER CORP 51090 Blind Rivet Dome Head 5/32 in Dia 1/2 in L Steel hardware

Blind Rivet for One-Sided Access

This blind rivet joins materials when only one side of the joint is reachable. A mandrel is pulled through the tubular body to expand the blind end before snapping off. The process creates a secure mechanical fastening without needing access to the rear surface. It suits general fabrication, repair and assembly tasks.

Drilled Hole and Setting Tool Required

Installation requires a correctly sized drilled hole and a compatible rivet setting tool to pull the mandrel. If the hole diameter is too large the joint will be weak; if too small the rivet will not seat. The mandrel must break cleanly at the designed point, otherwise the rivet may not clamp correctly. Proper tool adjustment prevents these common issues.

Steel Dome Head 51090

The steel construction provides standard shear and tensile strength for typical structural and sheet-metal applications. The dome head distributes load across a broad bearing surface while leaving a low-profile finish. This fastener handles permanent joints in metal, plastic or composite panels where disassembly is not intended. It is not suited for applications requiring repeated removal or high-vibration environments without additional locking measures.
