MS20426 and MS20470 solid rivets.

Compare countersunk and universal-head solid-rivet families and understand why the document name and ordering number can differ.

// HEAD GEOMETRY

Start with the installed head

MS20426 identifies a 100-degree countersunk precision-head solid-rivet family. MS20470 is a universal-head solid-rivet family. The head shape and required seat differ, so diameter and length alone do not establish an alternate.

// DOCUMENT AND PART NUMBER

An example of unchanged part numbers

MS20426 has the successor document NASM20426, with the original part identification numbers retained. A NASM document title therefore does not mean an MS part number must be renamed by changing its prefix.

// PURCHASING DETAILS

Order the entire rivet requirement

Record material/finish codes, diameter and length or grip requirements. Confirm whether a specified length is measured under the head or includes it; use the governing drawing. Installation access and process requirements remain separate from this family comparison.
