SKU CH-QNAF-5PB03

Steel tubular rivets with a truss head reduce installation force by rolling outward at the tip

  • Product typeRivets
  • Tubular design reduces installation force by rolling outward
  • Truss head style spreads load across wider surface area
  • Steel construction provides strength for reliable fastening
  • 1/8 inch diameter suits standard fastening applications
  • 7/16 inch length accommodates typical material thicknesses

MIDWEST FASTENER 61867 Tubular Rivet

These steel tubular rivets feature a truss head and a 1/8 inch diameter with a 7/16 inch length. They are designed for general fastening tasks where a lower installation force is beneficial. The tubular tip rolls outward during application to secure the joint. Suitable for automotive, repair and light fabrication work.

Replaces solid rivets needing high force

Unlike solid rivets, the tubular design requires less force to set because the hollow tip rolls outward instead of deforming a solid shank. This makes installation easier with hand tools or light presses. The jump is worth it when access is limited or when repeated setting causes operator fatigue. Not for buyers who need the maximum shear strength of a solid shank.

Holds under sustained vibration and load

Once set, the rolled tubular walls clamp the materials together with consistent pressure. The steel construction resists loosening under vibration better than many temporary fasteners. The truss head distributes load across a wider surface to reduce pull-through. Not for applications requiring a sealed or water-tight joint.

Questions about this item

What diameter drill bit is required for the 1/8 in tubular rivet?

Use a 1/8 in drill bit to match the rivet diameter so the tubular shank fits cleanly through the material.

How do you set the truss head tubular rivet without a solid rivet gun?

Insert the rivet, place a rivet setter or hammer against the hollow tip, and roll the tubular walls outward until the head clamps the joint.

When should the steel tubular rivets be replaced in a vibration-prone assembly?

Inspect for elongated holes or loose heads after heavy vibration cycles and replace any rivet that no longer clamps tightly.
