This bolt is used in horizontal and vertical seams for 14 gauge through 8 gauge sidewall
to attach the sheets to each other and horizontal seams in 6-5 gauge. It is also used to attach the
stiffener to the sidewall sheet for up to 10 gauge sidewall. It is not used to splice the stiffeners
together on the flanges where they connect to each other or the splice plates.

This bolt is used in vertical seams of 6-5 gauge sidewall and overlap joints 9-8 gauge. It is also used
to bolt stiffeners to 9 gauge and thicker sidewalls. The stiffener usage is only to attach the stiffener
and the splice plate to the sidewall. A different bolt, without a sealing washer, is used where the
stiffener bolts to the splice plates. 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.
