All dimensions are in inches
§ Rivets reference E and F with a shank length (L) less than 5/16 inch have a tube depth (T) of 1/8 inch.
† Rivets reference G and H with a shank length (L) less than 5/16 inch have a tube depth (T) of 5/32 inch.
‡ Rivets reference J and K with a shank length (L) less than 3/8 inch have a tube depth (T) of 5/32 inch.
All rivets are embossed showing the rivet reference letter and the shank length (L) where the shank length is specified by whole numbers of 1/16 inch increments. 1/32 inch increments are specified as half whole numbers ie: 0.5.
For example: G8 is rivet reference G which has a 5/32 inch shark diameter and has a 1/2 inch shark length.
G8.5 is rivet reference G which has a 5/32 inch shank diameter and has a 17/32 inch shank length.
