New Product Introduction:

The 200 Series is a set of unique, strong, and versatile fasteners, which allow for 1/8” movement.  The ability to expand and contract through all types of conditions adds to their flexibility and makes the Galaxy a multi-purpose fastener.  

Includes 234 Euro Screws unless specified "without screws" in the pricing list. Other compatible screw varieties are listed in the 200 Series only.

Application

The Galaxies’ extra-strength and their small size are unique because their arms grip from the sides.  These long arms allow for up to 1/8” of movement at the connection between the panel and the mounting point; this design allows for secure expansion and contraction of the panel.  The compression fit holds plywood, particle board MDF, plastics, solid surfaces, and more.   The Galaxy works well for the installation of all types of architectural applications like wall panels, acoustic panels, fabric panel, mirror frames, heavy art, and wood trim.

Description:

Each of the four Galaxy fasteners have a different number of arms, which determines the strength of each.  The thicker the arms are, the harder it is to pull the fasteners away from the wall.  Like our popular Zero, there is no requirement to drop and lock the Galaxy because the panel snaps straight into place.  The inserts are designed for a compression lock into a 1-1/4” drilled hole, at 3/8” depth.   They can be quickly inserted with a hammer or a press; plus, the fastener has a small rim that indents the surface of the wood and holds the insert flush with the surface.

The engineered plastic body and steel mounting screw on Galaxy can withstand repeated removal during installation.  However, they are not designed for constant removal, and they should not be used on service panels that will be removed many times.

Note: The 224 Galaxy has a 30 Lb. weight limit per insert. Not recommended for overhead use without a safety lanyard.
