Bagging Fasteners the Right Way


When it comes to bagging fasteners of any kind, Advance has the man-power and machine-power to get the job done. Plastic fasteners are especially sensitive to drying out and becoming brittle. By injecting small amounts of distilled water into each bag, the plastics retains its form and color. 
Just another great value-added service for our customers. Advance is the distributor's source for quality products and customer service. May we bag that for you?

ARaymond Tinnerman U-Type Fasteners for Spring

ARaymond Tinnerman offers a variety of finishes for all of their products. We especially like these green U-Type single thread engaging self-retaining fasteners. A bit of green for a much needed spring!

U-Type Speed Nuts perform the same fastening functions as J-Type, but are used where a full bearing surface on the lower leg is desired. They are self-retained in screw-receiving position to provide simple, rapid attachment of mating panels and cannot turn as the screw is driven.

Advance is a master-stocking distributor of ARaymond Tinnerman products. Visit advancecomponents.com  for more information, or call 972-446-5500 to learn more from Advance's great team of engineering solution professionals.
