Product Spotlight: Elco Fab-Lok

Vibration can make ordinary fasteners loosen and back out, whether that vibration comes from inside or outside a building. Fab-Lok fasteners from Elco combine a screw and a slotted aluminum sleeve to provide resistance to loosening in high-stress and high-vibration environments.

Elco Fab-Lok fasteners are excellent for use with insulated metal panels, featuring a hex washer head machine screw assembled to a sleeve and EPDM sealing washer. Once tightened, the clamping tines remain in place no matter if the screw remains in place or is removed. This creates greater joint integrity with clamping force and it can be used in blind applications.

Elco Fab-Loks are available in grip ranges from .062 to .750 for maximum penetrating lengths of 1.300” to 1.800”. If you want to learn more about Elco Fab-Lok fasteners or any Elco products, contact Mudge Fasteners at (800) 634-0406 for pricing and information.
