227 Galaxy | 1/8" Gap

The 227 Galaxy is lightest duty of the 4 multi-strength fasteners. Uniquely designed as a snap-in fastener for 1/2”-3/4” wood panels. Each insert has a set number of waves that determine the holding strength, while still allowing 1/8” of movement for expansion and contraction. This means the Galaxy fasteners will hold larger panels that have more movement. The Galaxy fasteners work with any screw from the 200 Series with a 1/8” neck multiplying the various application possibilities. Like our popular 320 Zero there is no requirement to drop and lock, the panel snaps straight onto place.

DESCRIPTION

The 227 Galaxy is lightest duty of the 4 multi-strength fasteners. Uniquely designed as a snap-in fastener for 1/2”-3/4” wood panels. Each insert has a set number of waves that determine the holding strength, while still allowing 1/8” of movement for expansion and contraction. This means the Galaxy fasteners will hold larger panels that have more movement. The Galaxy fasteners work with any screw from the 200 Series with a 1/8” neck multiplying the various application possibilities. Like our popular 320 Zero there is no requirement to drop and lock, the panel snaps straight onto place.

INSTALLATION

The Galaxy is a disc shaped, snap-in insert, that compression fits into a 1-1/4" drilled hole at 3/8” depth. (Best milled with a 1-1/4” Forstner Bit if installed in the field) The Galaxy fits into place using a mallet or press. There is a small rim to help flush the insert with the surface of the material. The 229 Galaxy Alignment Pin is then inserted and used to mark the location of the adjacent screw. The 234 Euro Screw (or compatible 200 Series Screw) is installed into the marked location. The head of the screw is then ready to snap-in the center of the Galaxy. This connection can withstand repeated removal. Note: Excessive removal will reduce the holding strength over time.

Note: The 227 Galaxy has a 10lb weight limit per insert. Not recommended for overhead use.
