You're absolutely right. I noticed the styrofoam, but it didn't occur to me. You can see the foam in the photo above of the black valve. But it's not 1" thick. I'll have to go measure it, but I think it's only 3/4" on the bottom.
OK, ran outside and measured. The sides are 1". The bottom is two 1/2" pieces, with a 1/16" sheet of plastic between them. I agree it would be safe to have a pop rivet foot sticking up in the lower 1/2" of foam. Cool (part of my aforementioned wide vocabulary).
