Blind rivet for single-side joints
This MIDWEST FASTENER blind rivet joins materials when you can only reach one side of the workpiece. The tubular body holds a central mandrel that expands the tail before snapping off. A dome head provides a finished, low-profile surface after installation.
Mandrel-snap installation method
The rivet is inserted into a pre-drilled hole and a rivet tool pulls the mandrel to form the blind-side clamp. Once the tail expands fully, the mandrel breaks at its designed weak point and separates. No separate fastener or access to the back face is required during assembly.
Suited for thin-panel and repair work
Builders fastening sheet metal, plastic or composite panels up to 19/32 inch total thickness will find the grip range practical. Users needing structural shear ratings, flush countersunk heads or larger diameter options should look at other fastener types.

Questions about this item
How often will the 3/16 in diameter rivet need replacing under vibration?
The rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener; once the mandrel snaps off the joint remains secure unless the material itself fails.
What limits the grip range when joining thick panels with the 19/32 in length?
The 19/32 in shank length sets the maximum combined material thickness that can be clamped before the blind end cannot expand fully.
Does the steel mandrel generate heat during continuous installation with a rivet gun?
Installation is a brief mechanical pull; the tool does the work and the rivet itself produces no sustained heat or noise.
