Avtainer

An Avtainer is a low-profile fastener with a steel body. It is used to join panels where a flush or near-flush finish is needed. The low head sits close to the surface.

An Avtainer fastens panels and profiles with a low profile head that sits close to the surface. It often takes a nut or a tapped hole of the same thread. A washer can sit under the head to spread the load.

This fastener is often made in steel. Steel gives high strength and takes plating well. It can rust if the plating is damaged, so touch up bare spots.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance and a mill test certificate for the steel. On receipt, check the head profile, the body and the thread or setting feature. Confirm the panel thickness range before use.
