It is used to connect the stiffener to the sidewall at locations where a splice plate is used to connect
the stiffener and to connect laminated stiffeners to the sidewall sheets. It is also used to bolt
stiffeners to 9 gauge and thicker sidewall. This bolt is also used to bolt horizontal and vertical seams
together on 12 gauge laminated and thicker and some overlap seams. It is only used to attach the
