Aluminium Pop Rivets MODECO MN-41-748 4.8 x 12.7 mm, pack of 50

MODECO aluminium pop rivets MN-41-748 in size 4.8 x 12.7 mm come in a pack of 50 and are blind rivets intended for permanent mechanical fastening where access is available from one side only. Constructed from aluminium, these rivets offer lightweight and corrosion-resistant joining for thin-sheet materials, suitable for applications in construction, automotive trims, HVAC installations and general repair tasks. Their compact profile and consistent mandrel setting provide reliable clamp and shear strength for common light- to medium-duty assemblies.

Advantages

Aluminium construction ensures reduced weight and good resistance to corrosion in non-aggressive environments. The blind-rivet design permits installation from one side, simplifying work in confined or hard-to-reach areas. Supplied in a pack of 50, these rivets facilitate multiple repairs or production runs without frequent restocking. Consistent dimensions and formed mandrel result in repeatable fastening performance and a neat finished appearance.

Suitable for

• Joining aluminium sheets and thin steel panels
• Automotive interior and exterior trim fastening
• HVAC ductwork and metal ventilation parts
• General workshop repairs and light structural assemblies
• Fastening some rigid plastics to metal substrates

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium rivet body with aluminium mandrel
• Rivet diameter: 4.8 mm
• Grip length (body length): 12.7 mm
• Pack quantity: 50 pieces
• Type: blind (pop) rivet for single-side installation
• Typical applications: light- to medium-duty fastening of thin-sheet materials

How to use

Select a rivet with a diameter and grip range appropriate to the combined thickness of the materials to be joined. Drill a clearance hole of matching diameter through the parts, insert the rivet body into the hole, and position the rivet so the flange sits flush against the surface. Using a suitable hand or pneumatic pop-rivet tool, pull the mandrel until the rivet body deforms and clamps the materials together; the mandrel will break off when the correct setting is reached. Inspect the formed tail and flange for proper compression and ensure the joint is secure before putting the assembly into service.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use in environments where aluminium-to-aluminium or aluminium-to-thin-steel contact is acceptable; avoid prolonged exposure to highly corrosive conditions without additional protective measures. Match rivet diameter and grip length to material thickness, and use a rivet tool rated for 4.8 mm aluminium rivets to ensure consistent installation and avoid tool overload.
