[RE-wrenches] pop rivet purlin roof attachments

[Chris Meier]

The normal advice we give for alternative fasteners is to determine the design point load, at this point your local fastener distributer can select a proper rivet. I would recommend selecting a threaded insert stud this will allow for a stud to stick up to bolt the racking on to. 

 

I do not recommend particular product, but on my desk is a company AVK that makes these type of studs www.avkfasteners.com <http://www.avkfasteners.com/> 

 

Let me know if this helps.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] pop rivet purlin roof attachments

 

Hi All.....I was wondering if anyone has experience attaching to the purlin of a metal building using pop rivets thru the metal roof so as to not have to run a bolt thru the roof and have someone on the inside of the building at roof level......I have heard this type of attachment discussed but am unclear as to the details or tools required.....any advice or direction that you might share with me would be appreciated.....
