Blind Rivets MODECO MN-41-732 aluminum 3.2 mm diameter, 12.7 mm length, 50 pcs

MODECO MN-41-732 blind rivets are aluminum pop rivets with a 3.2 mm shank diameter and a 12.7 mm body length, supplied in a pack of 50 pieces. Designed for one-sided installation, these blind rivets provide a permanent mechanical fastening for joining thin metal sheets, plastic components and similar materials where access to the reverse side is limited or impossible.

Advantages

Aluminum construction ensures low weight and corrosion resistance in typical indoor and sheltered outdoor applications. The blind design allows reliable installation from one side without the need to reach behind the joined parts. Standardized shank diameter and length make these rivets compatible with commonly available hand and pneumatic rivet tools rated for 3.2 mm rivets. Supplied in a pack of 50, they offer enough quantity for small repair, assembly or fabrication projects.

Suitable for

• Joining thin metal sheets and panels
• Securing plastic parts and housings
• Automotive bodywork repairs and trim fastening
• Light fabrications, enclosures and ductwork
• Repair and maintenance tasks where access is possible from one side only

Key specifications

• Material: aluminum body and mandrel
• Shank diameter: 3.2 mm
• Body length: 12.7 mm
• Fastener type: blind (pop) rivet for one-sided installation
• Pack quantity: 50 pieces
• Typical use: permanent mechanical fastening of thin materials

How to use

Drill a hole matching the 3.2 mm rivet shank in the materials to be joined, ensuring proper alignment of the components. Insert the rivet through the hole so the rivet head sits flush against the surface. Use a rivet tool compatible with 3.2 mm rivets to pull the mandrel until the body deforms and forms a blind head, creating a permanent clamp. After installation, the mandrel will snap off, leaving a secure joint. Verify the joint for correct compression and head seating; replace any rivet that shows incomplete deformation or improper seating.

Usage recommendations

For best results, choose a rivet length that allows sufficient mandrel pull for proper blind head formation when joining combined material thicknesses up to the rivet’s recommended grip range. Use clean, deburred holes and appropriate rivet tools to ensure consistent installation. Avoid using aluminum rivets in continuously exposed marine environments without additional corrosion protection.
