The Genie 217425GT Pop Rivet is a genuine OEM fastener designed for the Genie RL4 light tower. Sourced directly from Genie, this aluminum pop rivet matches the exact diameter and grip specifications called out in the original parts manual, ensuring a correct, secure installation every time. Cross-reference part number 217425GT against your RL4 parts manual to confirm it is the right item for your specific unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Aluminum Construction — Made to Genie's material grade and dimensional spec, this aluminum rivet delivers the corrosion resistance and shear strength expected of an OEM fastener on light tower equipment.
- Exact-Spec Sizing — At 3/16" diameter x .45 grip, this rivet matches the original specification precisely, seating flush without modification or rework.
- Direct RL4 Application — Confirmed fitment for the Genie RL4 light tower, eliminating guesswork when sourcing replacement fasteners for the unit.
- Secure, Long-Lasting Fastening — A correctly installed rivet maintains panel and component integrity on the light tower. A worn, missing, or incorrect rivet can allow panels to shift or separate, compromising the structure of the unit.
A pop rivet is a one-piece blind fastener that permanently joins two or more materials by expanding a mandrel through its body, locking the assembly together from one side. On light tower equipment like the Genie RL4, rivets are used to secure panels, covers, and structural components in place. When a rivet fails — through corrosion, impact, or fatigue — the joint loosens and the connected parts lose their support, making prompt replacement with the correct OEM fastener essential to keeping the unit structurally sound.
