Description
The Chem-Set F2 bonding fastener is a female-threaded, no-drill stud built for jobs where welding or drilling into the base material is not an option. A T38 rectangular base (38mm by 15mm) carries a thread collar that adds standoff height and extra thread engagement over a flush female insert.
Where the Chem-Set F2 Bonding Fastener Is Used
Fabricators glue this fastener directly to sheet metal, plastic panels, and composite materials wherever a female 1/4-20 thread point needs to sit above the panel surface rather than flush against it. The open back (standard) configuration suits most flat-panel mounting jobs, and the design avoids the safety concerns that come with welding near flammable materials or finished surfaces.
Why Shops Choose the Chem-Set F2 Bonding Fastener
Skipping drilling and welding saves labor time and avoids the heat distortion or paint damage that welding can leave behind. The bonded joint distributes load evenly across the T38 base rather than concentrating stress at a single weld point or drilled hole, which extends the working life of the mounting point. Because the fastener sits on an adhesive bond rather than a direct metal-to-metal weld, it also removes the galvanic corrosion risk that shows up when dissimilar metals are welded or bolted together.
