Spring-Fastฎ Composite Grommet Edging covers sharp edges of panels that come in contact with wires and cables, and mechanically locks on indefinitely with finger pressure, in only seconds per foot, a significant time reduction and long-term reliability solution. Eliminates nylon caterpillar plastic grommets and associated toxic solvents, adhesives, ancillary materials and volatile organic compounds. Provides a cushion between sharp metallic edges and an aircrafts wiring, cabling, and tubing. Qualifications: resistance to shock, vibration, salt spray and immersion. Applications: avionics racks, ribs, bulkheads, intercostals, and other airframe structures.
Spring-Fast Grommet Edging is approved by the U.S. Defense Department and FAA per NASM 22529/1 and NASM 22529/2 for all aircraft applications. Meets FAR 25.853 for flammability and Mil Std 1344 for shock & vibration. Spring-Fast is available in 8 different sheet thickness ranges from 0.025 to 0.260 and can be purchased in either 10 piece packs of 12.75 long pieces, or 25 or 100-foot reels. Use Spring-Fast BAP and SL series for flanged lightning holes and three-axis contours. The BAP Series Flexi-Grommet is perfect for roll formed edges and small lightening holes. Where wires routed in the same plain as the sheet metal, the Spring-Fast SL Series is just right and provides a trim characteristic for all edges with or without cabling nearby.
To make installation easier consider these tools. All Spring-Fast series products are easy to fabricate to length utilizing the DTI Shears P/N 05-04446 . In addition, for repetitive cutting tasks the PSA backed Mylar Grommet Scale PN 05-04448 mounts on most table top surfaces. For grommet installation in tight or repetitive areas, the Roller installation tool (pictured to the right) PN 05-04449 is just the thing. |
