Best Rivet to Use for 14 ga Sheet Metal

Best Rivet to Use for 14 ga Sheet Metal

Best Rivet to Use for 14 ga Sheet Metal

(OP)
We are using 1/8 in. pop rivets to join two
14 ga galvanized sheets as a sleeve extension
on a fire seal.  

The grip range selected by the installer
was 0.188 0.250 in. for the rivet.  I am thinking
a better choice would have been one that pops
closer to the thickness of two 14 ga sheets,
approximately 0.157.  

Looking for feedback or comments.

Is there a problem?
