Squirter® DTIs and Oversized Holes
Squirter® DTIs and Oversized or Short Slotted Holes
A hole larger than standard size (1/16" over nominal) in the steelwork will not allow the squirt feature to function correctly, therefore over larger holes special flat washer requirements are necessary.
- Squirter® DTIs are normally used directly against the steelwork and only over standard sized holes. In this case, as with standard DTI's, the normal flat washer requirements are necessary; see this FAQ.
- If Squirter® DTIs must be used with oversized holes, the best solution is to put the oversized hole in the steelwork ONLY in the inner ply or plies or in one outer ply, leaving a standard sized hole under the Squirter® DTIs so the squirt feature works correctly.
- For all squirter® DTI's over larger holes, in order to make the squirt feature function correctly, it is necessary the correct ID and OD flat washers both under and over the squirter® DTI. For a table of the dimensions on these "special" flat washers click here
