Product Identity

MIDWEST FASTENER CORP 61876 Tubular Rivet Truss Head 3/16 in Dia 3/8 in L Steel is a new steel fastener with a hollow tip that rolls outward during installation. The truss head provides a broad bearing surface for sheet metal and similar materials. It is supplied as miscellaneous hardware for automotive and general repair tasks.

Suitability

This rivet suits technicians and hobbyists who need a permanent mechanical joint where access allows a setting tool to flare the tubular end. It is not intended for applications that require a solid shank, a countersunk head, or a blind rivet that pulls from one side only.

Installation Notes

The tubular design lowers the force required to form the shop head compared with solid rivets. Correct setting depends on matching the tooling to the 3/16 inch diameter and 3/8 inch length so the hollow portion rolls evenly without splitting.

Questions about this item

What tools are required to install the 61876 tubular rivet?

A rivet setter or hand press that can roll the tubular tip outward is needed; the hollow tip reduces the force required compared with a solid rivet.

Can the 61876 rivet be used with existing solid-rivet tooling?

Standard solid-rivet sets will not roll the tubular shank correctly; a setter designed for tubular rivets must be used instead.

How can I confirm the 61876 rivet has set properly after installation?

The tubular end should be flared evenly around the full circumference with no cracks, and the joint should hold the assembled parts firmly without movement.
