Marson 20-Pack 5mm .236-.394 Grip Klik-Lock Plastic Rivets (48108)

The Marson 20-Pack 5mm .236-.394 Grip Klik-Lock Plastic Rivets (48108) are precision-molded, all-nylon blind fasteners designed for applications requiring non-conductive and corrosion-resistant hardware. These rivets securely join plastic to plastic, plastic to metal, and plastic to fiberglass using an expanding locking mechanism that grips the blind side of the material. Their wide grip range makes them suitable for thicker panel assemblies in automotive, electrical, industrial, and outdoor applications. The 20-piece package provides a practical quantity for targeted repairs, maintenance, and small assembly projects.Key Features and Benefits: Non-Conductive Construction: Nylon material makes the rivets suitable for use near wiring and electrical components where metal fasteners may cause interference. Corrosion Resistance: All-nylon construction prevents rust and helps protect assemblies exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions. Secure Locking Action: The Klik-Lock mechanism expands behind the material to create a stable connection that resists pull-out. Multiple Material Compatibility: Effectively joins plastic, fiberglass, and compatible thin metal components. Blind-Side Installation: Allows materials to be fastened securely when the reverse side of the workpiece cannot be accessed.Specifications: Product Name: Marson 20-Pack 5mm .236-.394 Grip Klik-Lock Plastic Rivets (48108) Part Number: 48108 Pack Capacity: 20 plastic rivets Rivet Diameter: 5mm or approximately 0.197 inches Grip Range: 0.236 to 0.394 inches or approximately 5.99 to 10.01mm Required Hole Size: 5mm or approximately 0.197 inches Head Style: Truss head Body Material: Nylon Mandrel Material: Delrin 500 Tensile Strength: 120 lbf or approximately 0.534 kN Shear Strength: 68 lbf or approximately 0.302 kN Installation Type: Blind or single-side fastening Package Contents: 20 Marson 48108 Klik-Lock plastic rivetsHow to Use: Prepare the Materials: Align the components being joined and ensure the installation area is clean and free of debris. Create the Mounting Hole: Drill a clean 5mm hole through the aligned materials when a correctly sized opening is not already available. Load the Rivet: Insert the rivet mandrel into the nosepiece of a compatible plastic rivet setting tool. Position the Fastener: Place the rivet body completely through the prepared holes until the truss head rests against the material surface. Set the Rivet: Squeeze the handles or activate the tool to pull the mandrel and expand the rivet body behind the workpiece. Complete the Installation: Continue operating the tool until the rivet is fully set and the mandrel releases or separates as intended. Inspect the Connection: Confirm that the rivet head is seated flush and that the joined materials are securely held together.Benefits of Using Marson 20-Pack 5mm .236-.394 Grip Klik-Lock Plastic Rivets (48108): Prevents Galvanic Corrosion: Non-metallic construction avoids corrosive reactions that may occur when dissimilar metals contact each other. Improves Electrical Safety: Insulating nylon material reduces the risk of unintended electrical conductivity within the assembly. Accommodates Thicker Materials: The 0.236 to 0.394-inch grip range supports assemblies with greater combined material thickness. Distributes Clamping Pressure: The broad truss head helps spread force across the surface and reduces concentrated stress. Provides a Clean Finish: The low-profile head creates a neat appearance on panels, covers, and finished components. Simplifies Restricted-Area Repairs: Single-side installation eliminates the need to hold nuts or hardware behind inaccessible panels.Features: Precision-Molded Body: Consistent nylon construction supports reliable positioning and controlled expansion during installation. Wide-Grip Configuration: Designed to secure material stacks measuring approximately 5.99 to 10.01mm thick. Broad-Bearing Head: Truss-style geometry provides increased surface contact on the accessible side of the workpiece. Plastic Rivet Tool Compatibility: Suitable for use with compatible setting tools such as the Marson KL2 series. Delrin Mandrel Component: Engineered to support controlled rivet expansion during the fastening cycle. Compact Package Quantity: Supplied in a 20-piece pack for focused repairs and small assembly projects.
