Chem-Set F2-RB38 No-Drill Female Standoff Fastener

Description

Chem-Set F2-RB38 bonding fastener combines a female threaded collar with a 38 mm round baseplate for mounting without a through-hole. The collar creates a defined standoff, while the perforated plate gives adhesive a broad contact area and a mechanical key after cure.

Where the F2-RB38 Fastener Fits

This configurable family supports panels and fabricated assemblies that need a raised female thread on a finished or difficult-to-drill surface. It is used in transportation, marine, cabinetry, signs, equipment panels, composites, stone fabrication, and general manufacturing. The round base helps installers orient the fastener where a rectangular plate might interfere with nearby edges or features.

Common thread choices in the family include 10-24, 10-32, 1/4-20, and 3/8-16. Collar lengths range across several inch configurations, and material choices may include electro-zinc steel or stainless steel. Confirm the exact child SKU, thread, collar length, material, finish, and open or closed back before ordering.

Installing the Chem-Set F2-RB38 Bonding Fastener

Prepare the panel and baseplate according to the adhesive system selected for the substrate. Dispense fully mixed adhesive in the required quantity, place the fastener over the bead, and press until adhesive flows through the plate holes. Keep the collar aligned with the mating bolt during cure. Wait for the adhesive to reach its specified handling strength before disturbing the part and full service strength before loading it.
