PennEngineering Introduces PEM PreTect Thread Masking Plugs for Protection of Internal Threads of Self-Clinching Nuts
PEM PreTect thread masking plugs from PennEngineering will protect internal threads of self-clinching nuts and standoffs during paint and powder coating processes. They have been designed to self-clinching blind standoffs, thru-hole standoffs, and nuts in thread sizes #4-40 to ¼-20 and M3 to M6. They can be augmented for thru-hole fastener types and can be removed easily using a fine tip tool....
