The tapered fastener system is one of the more reliable fastener systems for assuring the longevity of connected members, especially like those found in aircraft, which are subjected to stresses on the order of 20,000 psi and up. However, in order to achieve such joint longevity, a high quality installation of the tapered fastener has been determined to be necessary. The three areas which are the most critical to such an installation are: hole finish, fastener-to-hole bearing contact, and interference fit of fastener in hole.
