Description

What are Electroplated Snap-Caps?

Electroplated Snap-Caps are a high-quality metal-finish version of Snap-Caps. They are ideal for concealing fixings on metal, chrome & anodised fittings such as window or shower frames and other highly polished surfaces such as mirrors, plaques & signs. Satin Chrome finish Snap-Caps look fantastic on satin or “brushed” metal surfaces.

Electroplated Snap-Caps have a finish that is hard-wearing, long-lasting and resistant to most household cleansers.

Available in Cap sizes 6/8 and 10/12.

Electroplated caps can be used with both CSK and F/B washers or with Mirror Grommets for above-surface mounting of mirrors.

How to use Electroplated Snap-Caps

The fixing is secured through the washer into the workpiece. The cap is then “snapped” over the washer, mating by means of an interlocking peripheral groove and flange. This provides an airtight and seal that excludes atmosphere and protects the fastener head from rust and corrosion.

Material

Snap-Caps are manufactured in ABS polymer and then fully electroplated to Best Practice standards.
