Spring-Fast Grommet Edging: FM Series
The FM Series has the lowest profile of any wire protection grommet edging available
and it provides a near flush surface on one side of the mounted chassis.
The steel substrate encapsulated with lubricious fusion bonded nylon gives fast snap-on superior abrasion
and chemical resistance, enhanced gripping strength for severe shock/vibration, multi axis flexibility.
Key Benefits
- Superior performance: encapsulated stainless steel core: outperforms plastic grommets.
- Snap on installation lowers costs 49% vs. grommets with glue. Watch the 4 min. video below.
- Improves efficiency 9.5x – due to fewer steps in workflow.

Applications
- Commercial use when superior grip strength and retention is important – plus flush mount capability
- Straight and roll formed edges
- Small radii inside or outside corners
Features
The old nylon grommet with glue is old, inefficient and costly. DTi has a better way.
- Nylon encapsulated stainless steel substrate
- Snaps on fast with finger pressure
- Installs continuously with multi axis conformity
- Self locking with strong retention – no adhesives
- Simpler install: no adhesive, fixturing, curing, clean up or OSHA concerns
- Maintenance is far easier due to its ease of application, use and removal
- Customization available (lengths, colors and print)
