2600, 2700 and 2800 Series C-Lock Fastener BasicsThese
series are perfect for light to medium duty applications. They are
small enough to fit in limited mounting space and are light weight. All
of these fasteners have a 600# ultimate tensile load capacity. All
dimensions on this page are in inches unless otherwise specified. For
metric conversion use this formula: Inches x 25.4 = mm. mm ÷ 25.4 =
Inches.When using the 2600, 2700 or 2800 series you will need 3
parts to make up the system. A stud, retainer, and receptacle. There are
many options for each of these items as you will see below. Selecting
the proper components for your application is simple using the data
tables below. If you have any questions or need additional information,
please and we will be glad to help.When designing a new application it is best to select components from the inside out. 1.)
First, determine which Receptacle you want to use. See Table # 1.
Consider any restrictions of mounting space or accessibility issues.2.)
Next, select the type of stud retainer you wish to use. Semi-rigid
retainers are best for flat panels. Floating retainers usually work best
on sliding or curved panels. See Table # 2. 3.) Then select the Stud Series and Head Style you wish to use. See Table # 3. 4.)
Finally, select a Stud and Material from Table # 4, # 5, # 6 or # 7.
In the far right column of each table is the stud's total length
dimension. This can be used to easily identify an existing stud which
requires replacement.Once you have determined all of the above
and selected the components to be used, be sure to reference Table # 8
to select the appropriate associated tooling. Some tools are not
absolutely necessary but are very helpful in assuring proper hole
spacing, hole diameters, and a proper installation. * Please Note: We
also offer Pre-Engineered fasteners sets that have all of the proper
components packaged in simple set ups for 90% of most common
applications.
