Choosing a Cloc® Fastener
Is the application non-structural with no mass consideration?
Consider the CLoc. 2000 Series
Is the application semi-structural with some mass to consider?
Consider the CLoc. 4000 or 6000 Series (if lip or panel overlap greater than 1.00)
Is available lip or panel overlap restrictive? (width required to mount receptacle)
• .355 to .500 – Consider the CLoc. 2500 Series
• .500 to .710 – Consider the CLoc. 26000/2700/2800 Series
• .710* or more – Consider the CLoc. 4000 Series (.860* for SK244/245 Rec)
*See diagram on Page 2 or Page 20 for panel configuration/restrictions.
Is weight a factor?
Consider the Skytanium. CLoc. ZG Series for 30% to 50% Weight savings (without
sacrificing steel strength ratings)
Do you prefer a Rivet Receptacle? A crimp Receptacle? A Backing Nut Receptacle? Or a bonded Receptacle?
