Specialinsert Fast-Con Self-Tapping Screw, 316 Stainless 4.8 x 9.5 mm

Description

The Fast-Con self-tapping screw in 316 stainless steel, 4.8 mm diameter by 9.5 mm length, is the dedicated installation screw for Specialinsert’s Fast-Con snap fastening system. It threads into the female Fast-Con base to anchor the male clip into a panel, sheet, or substrate without pre-drilling tap holes in field conditions.

What the Fast-Con self-tapping screw does

Fast-Con is a patented mechanical snap-fit system that lets two parts connect by simply pressing them together, and separate again with light traction on the panel. The self-tapping screw is the consumable that locks the male component to its host material. Using the correct screw is what gives the assembly its hold strength and removal-cycle durability.
