Product Identification
The Midwest Fastener 51092 is a steel blind rivet with a dome head measuring 3/16 in diameter and 1/4 in length. It is designed for fastening applications where access is limited to one side of the workpiece. The tubular rivet includes a mandrel that expands the blind end before snapping off during installation. This hardware suits automotive, industrial and general repair tasks.
Suitable Users and Limitations
This rivet suits technicians and DIY users who need a permanent mechanical joint with single-side access and a low-profile dome head. It works with standard rivet tools for 3/16 in fasteners. Buyers who need a flush countersunk head, a different grip range, or corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or aluminium should select an alternative fastener type.
Deciding Specification
The 3/16 in diameter and 1/4 in length define the hole size and maximum material thickness this rivet can join. Verify that your drilled hole matches the diameter and that the total workpiece thickness falls within the grip range for this length. The steel construction provides high shear strength for structural joints. Match these dimensions to your application requirements before purchase.

How do I confirm the dome head is properly set after installation?
The mandrel will snap off flush with the dome head once the blind end has fully expanded, indicating a secure joint.
