Product identity

The MIDWEST FASTENER CORP 61866 is a tubular rivet with a truss head made from steel. It suits automotive repair, metal fabrication and general assembly tasks where a permanent mechanical joint is required.

Build integration

The rivet installs by rolling the tubular shank outward, which demands less force than a solid rivet and works with standard hand or pneumatic rivet tools. Its 1/8 inch diameter and 3/8 inch length suit thin sheet materials and leave a low-profile truss head on the finished surface.

Thermals noise power

As a passive steel fastener the rivet generates no heat, noise or electrical draw during installation or service. The joint strength relies on the cold-formed clinch rather than thermal processes, so surrounding components see no temperature rise.

Questions about this item

How much force is needed to set the tubular rivet compared to a solid rivet?

The hole at the tip reduces the force required by allowing the tubular portion to roll outward during installation.

Does the steel rivet generate heat or noise during extended fastening work?

No, the rivet is a passive steel fastener that produces no heat or noise when installed or in service.

What installation tool is required to roll the tubular portion outward?

A rivet setter or peening tool matched to the 1/8 in diameter is needed to flare the tubular end properly.
