Rivnut Installation and Removal. Rivnuts (threaded inserts) are tubular rivets with internal threads
and are used throughout the shelter wherever blind threads are required. The types of rivnuts used
in the LMS Type 1 Shelter are shown in below and described in Table 1.
NOTE
Flat head rivnuts (style D and E) may be used wherever
head thickness will not interfere with the installation of
equipment. Countersunk head rivnuts (style C) are used
for flush installation. Keyed rivnuts are used in locations
which are subject to vibration and torque. Closed end
rivnuts (styles C and E) must be used for exterior repairs
and floor repairs to keep moisture and dirt from entering
panels. Open end rivnuts (style D) may be used in areas
where sealing is not required.
