Product identity
The MIDWEST FASTENER CORP 61866 is a tubular rivet with a truss head made from steel. It suits automotive repair, metal fabrication and general assembly tasks where a permanent mechanical joint is required.
Build integration
The rivet installs by rolling the tubular shank outward, which demands less force than a solid rivet and works with standard hand or pneumatic rivet tools. Its 1/8 inch diameter and 3/8 inch length suit thin sheet materials and leave a low-profile truss head on the finished surface.
Thermals noise power
As a passive steel fastener the rivet generates no heat, noise or electrical draw during installation or service. The joint strength relies on the cold-formed clinch rather than thermal processes, so surrounding components see no temperature rise.

Questions about this item
How much force is needed to set the tubular rivet compared to a solid rivet?

Does the steel rivet generate heat or noise during extended fastening work?
No, the rivet is a passive steel fastener that produces no heat or noise when installed or in service.
What installation tool is required to roll the tubular portion outward?
A rivet setter or peening tool matched to the 1/8 in diameter is needed to flare the tubular end properly.
