Chem-Set F1-T38x19 No-Drill Bonding Fastener

Description

Chem-Set F1-T38x19 No-Drill Bonding Fastener is an F1 bonding fastener with a female hex nut mounted to a rectangular 38 x 19 mm baseplate. It gives fabricators a threaded attachment point on finished panels without drilling through the face, welding, or adding backside hardware access.

F1 Bonding Fastener Benefits

• Rectangular baseplate spreads adhesive over a wider footprint than a loose nut or small tab.
• Female threaded insert accepts common inch thread options used for brackets, covers, standoffs, and service panels.
• No-drill installation helps protect coated metal, composite, fiberglass, stone, and other finished surfaces.
• Low profile base supports hidden attachment points where the visible side must stay clean.
• Works well in repeat fabrication when crews need consistent hardware placement before final assembly.

The part is installed by preparing the bonding area, applying the selected structural adhesive to the base, setting the fastener in position, and fixturing it until the adhesive reaches handling strength. The joint design should keep load direction, base area, adhesive thickness, and substrate preparation in line with the adhesive manufacturer instructions.

Common Applications for F1 Bonding Fastener

• Mounting covers, light brackets, sign panels, and enclosure hardware.
• Adding threaded points to fiberglass, composite, painted metal, or finished panel assemblies.
• Countertop and shop fixtures where through-holes are not wanted.
• Marine, transportation, and equipment builds that benefit from hidden fastener placement.
• Prototype or repair work where a bonded insert is cleaner than welding or riveting.

Compatible Materials and Design Notes

• Prepared metal, composite, stone, fiberglass, and plastic panels when paired with a suitable adhesive.
• Threaded screws and studs matched to the selected insert size.
• Applications with enough flat area for the 38 x 19 mm base to sit fully supported.
• Assemblies where clamp load and service load stay within the adhesive and substrate limits.
