The fastener allows for a high degree of tolerance when installing steel flooring, up to +/- 0.25" of its intended position. The fastener is supplied with a galvanized finish.
Made to suit plates ranging from 1/8" to 1/2" thick and steelwork flanges up to 5/8" thick. For thicker flanges, spacers can be provided.
