Blind bolt (Hollo-bolt, Box bolt) connection question
Blind bolt (Hollo-bolt, Box bolt) connection question
(OP)
We are framing a roof screen with HSS sections and are connecting the members with blind bolts (also known as Box Bolts or Hollo-bolts). Is there a need to be concerned about water seeping into the HSS's through the bolt holes? If the bolts are properly tightened and connection plates are sufficiently thin, I would think the connection would be tight and water infiltration would not be a concern - but I am wondering if anyone has ever had a similar concern or if they have heard of any problems due to water infiltration into HSS's through such connections. Thanks!
