Blind rivet for single-side access
This blind rivet joins materials when only one side of the joint is reachable. The tubular body holds a central mandrel that expands the rivet tail before snapping off. It suits sheet-metal repairs, ductwork and general fabrication tasks.
No accessories or software included
The product ships as the fastener only, with no installation tool, mandrel assortment or coating kit supplied. Users must provide a compatible rivet gun to set the rivet correctly.
3/16 in diameter and 1/2 in length
The shank measures 3/16 in diameter with a 1/2 in grip length, fixing the hole size and material thickness it can join. Builders needing a different diameter or a longer grip range must select another part number.

Questions about this item
How often will the mandrel snap-off point need inspection or replacement on the 51094 rivets?
The mandrel snaps off during installation and remains inside the rivet body; no separate inspection or replacement of the snap-off point is required.
What grip-range limit determines the maximum material thickness these 3/16 in diameter rivets can join?
The 1/2 in length sets the maximum grip range; material thicker than this will not clamp properly with the 51094 rivets.
How much heat builds up in the rivet shank when setting hundreds of these steel fasteners in a single session?
Setting rivets is a cold mechanical process; the steel shank absorbs minimal heat and cools instantly between each installation.
