Arrow 1/8" x 1/2" Long Aluminum Pop Rivets (15-Pack)
Arrow's long aluminum pop rivet is the same 1/8 in. diameter as the medium version, stretched to a grip range up to 1/2 in. (12 mm) for joining thicker stacks - two layers of heavier sheet metal, or metal to a thicker backing piece the medium-length rivet can't span.
It's still aluminum, so it carries the same corrosion resistance and lower shear strength trade-off as Arrow's other aluminum rivets - pick the medium RMA1/8 instead if 1/4 in. of grip is all the joint needs, since a longer rivet costs more without adding strength.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the medium aluminum rivet?
Same 1/8 in. diameter, but a longer body giving up to 1/2 in. of grip range instead of 1/4 in. - use it when the medium rivet is too short to clamp both layers.
Will 15 rivets be enough for a small job?
For patch repairs and small brackets, yes; for a full gutter run or larger project, plan on more than one pack.
What size hole do I drill first?
A 1/8 in. bit matched to the rivet body, the same as any 1/8 in. Arrow rivet regardless of grip length.
