Location of Hi-Loks on B737 Fuselage
Location of Hi-Loks on B737 Fuselage
(OP)
Hello All,
I am trying to find out where in a Boeing 737 fuselage do they use Hi-Lok Fasteners. From some research, I found out that they use them in engine nacelles and rudders but I need to know in what part of the fuselage are they widely used.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Chandresh.

The 737 fuselage structure uses lots of hi-loks for installation level shear attachments in frames, intecostals, floor beams, door frames, etc. These shear hi-loks are commonly titanium pins with aluminum collars, which gives the best balance of strength, cost and weight. The primary consideration with using hi-loks is adequate access for the collar installation tool.
Hope that helps.
