Blind pop rivets must be used in theshelter foam and beam panels, since the hammering required to install conventional rivetswould damage the material. The types of rivets used in the shelter are shown in Figure 3-5and described in Table 3-2. When installing floor patches, countersunk head rivets (styles Kand T) are preferred, but dome head rivets (styles R and S) are an acceptable alternate. Wheninstalling interior wall patches, countersunk head rivets shall be used in any location in whichdome head rivets will interfere with the proper installation of equipment. Closed end rivets(styles K and R) must be used for exterior repairs and floor repairs to prevent moisture anddirt from entering panels.NOTEOpen end rivets may be used only where moisture and dirtentrance will not affect the shelter.Figure 3-5.
