I think just by the nature of how rivets work the inside will be sealed by
the high pressure of the deformed metal on the inside of the pipe.
You could dab some silicone on the inside if you can reach that far in the
pipe I guess.

I've see this eference to putting in a couple of pop rivets but I'm having
trouble seeing this.  I'm visualizing pop rivets from the outside of the
plastic through the metal inserts.  But a pop rivet is going to have a hole
all the way through the center that may or may not be sealed.  So what am I
missing? A type of rivet that I'm not familiar with or what?
BTW, I'm not being critical, just not able to see the pop rivets in there
without the possibility of leaks.
