Marson 20-Pack 6.3mm .158-.236 Grip Klik-Lock Plastic Rivets (48149)

The Marson 20-Pack 6.3mm .158-.236 Grip Klik-Lock Plastic Rivets (48149) are precision-molded, all-nylon fasteners designed to create secure connections between various materials. Suitable for automotive and industrial assembly, these rivets are ideal where metal fasteners may be unsuitable due to corrosion or electrical conductivity concerns. Their three-leg expansion mechanism securely joins plastic to plastic, plastic to metal, and plastic to fiberglass, making them suitable for maintenance, repair, and component installation applications.Key Features and Benefits: Secure Locking Mechanism: Forms three expanding legs behind the material to create a broad locking surface that resists pull-out. Multiple Material Compatibility: Suitable for joining plastic to plastic, plastic to metal, and plastic to fiberglass. Non-Conductive Construction: Nylon material helps prevent electrical conductivity in sensitive automotive and electronic applications. Corrosion Resistance: Non-metallic construction will not rust when exposed to moisture or changing environmental conditions. Automotive-Grade Application: Designed for use in vehicle assembly, panel installation, trim attachment, and general repair work.Specifications: Product Name: Marson 20-Pack 6.3mm .158-.236 Grip Klik-Lock Plastic Rivets (48149) Brand: Marson Model Number: 48149 Pack Capacity: 20 rivets Rivet Diameter: 6.3mm Grip Range: 0.158 to 0.236 inches Body Material: Nylon ST801HS Mandrel Material: Delrin 500 Head Type: Truss head Installation Type: Blind or single-side fastening Package Contents: 20 Marson 48149 Klik-Lock plastic rivetsHow to Use: Prepare the Materials: Align the materials to be joined and secure them with clamps when necessary.

Position the Fastener: Place the rivet body completely through the mounting hole until the truss head rests against the surface. Expand the Rivet: Squeeze the handles of the setting tool to pull the mandrel through the rivet body and expand the three locking legs behind the material. Complete the Installation: Continue operating the tool until the mandrel separates at the designated break point. Inspect the Connection: Confirm that the rivet is firmly seated and that the joined materials are stable.Benefits of Using Marson 20-Pack 6.3mm .158-.236 Grip Klik-Lock Plastic Rivets (48149): Reduces Component Movement: Secure expansion helps prevent loose panels, rattling, and vibration-related movement. Protects Soft Materials: Nylon construction lowers the risk of scratching or damaging plastic, fiberglass, and finished surfaces. Provides a Clean Finish: The truss head sits neatly against the mounting surface for a professional appearance. Supports Blind Fastening: Allows components to be joined when access is available from only one side. Simplifies Repairs: Installs quickly with a compatible hand-operated rivet tool and does not require nuts or washers.Features: Precision-Molded Components: Consistent nylon construction supports reliable insertion and controlled expansion. Three-Point Expansion: Distributes holding force across a wider area behind the mounting surface. Defined Material Range: Designed for assemblies measuring between 0.158 and 0.236 inches thick. Broad-Bearing Head: Truss-style head spreads pressure across the front surface of the material. Standard Tool Compatibility: Designed for installation with suitable plastic blind rivet setting equipment. Convenient Package Quantity: Supplied in a 20-piece pack for small and medium-sized repair or assembly projects. Lightweight Fastening Design: Provides secure attachment without adding unnecessary metal weight to the assembly.
