This structural detail outlines the manufacturing tolerances and geometric requirements for steel side plates in timber rivet connections. Hole diameters range from 17/64 inch minimum to 18/64 inch maximum, with location tolerances limited to 1/8 inch maximum in any direction. All dimensions apply prior to galvanizing. The end edge distance is specified as 1/2 inch minimum, and the wide face of rivets must be oriented parallel to the wood grain regardless of plate orientation.
