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?
