What It Is

This MIDWEST FASTENER 53951 blind rivet joins materials when you can only reach one side of the joint. The large flanged head spreads the clamping load over a wider area. It is supplied new for automotive, fabrication and general repair work.

Critical Spec

The rivet body measures 3/16 in diameter with a 1/16 in grip range, so it fits holes drilled to that size and clamps material within that thickness window. Selecting the correct diameter and grip range is the single factor that determines whether the fastener will hold.

Installation Profile

Setting the rivet requires a manual or powered rivet tool that pulls the mandrel until it snaps; the process is quiet and draws no electrical power beyond the tool itself. No heat is generated and there is no ongoing energy draw once the mandrel breaks flush.

Questions about this item

How does the 3/16 inch diameter translate to actual holding power in a real assembly?

The 3/16 inch diameter sets the shear and tensile strength of each rivet; the large flanged head spreads the load over a wider area to resist pull-through on softer materials.

What does the blind rivet design limit in terms of installation access?

The blind rivet design allows installation when you can reach only one side of the joint; the mandrel pulls through the tubular body to expand the blind end, then snaps off flush.

What hole size and grip range does the 3/16 inch rivet need to fit properly?

Drill a 3/16 inch clearance hole; the 1/16 inch grip range suits thin sheets, and the large flange requires a flat surface to seat against without countersinking.
