SpotFast™ Fasteners
PEM® SpotFast™ self-clinching fasteners permanently join two pieces of sheetmetal without protrusion from either side of the panels, providing a clean, smooth appearance. Replaces riveting or welding and can even serve as a "pivot point" if required. To install, simply press into punched mounting holes in the panels. The fastener creates "cold flow" of panel material which holds the fastener in place. Click Here.
