Installation instruction:
The fastener may be installed using either a pre-heating process or using heat generated by ultrasonic vibrations.Where preheating is used care must be exercised to ensure that the fastener softens but does not melt the plastic.
This will avoid any tendency to generate unsightly ""flash""around the top of the insert and could have a detrimental effect on performance.Insert must be installed flush to provide maximum performance.
