 Spring-Fast Grommet Edging:  FM Series

FM Series side view

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)
