Fastmount male heavy duty clip gives you a standard profile panel assembly fitting designed for repeatable panel mounting where a strong mechanical connection is required. This self tapping clip works as part of a panel mounting system, so it helps installers set up removable or serviceable panels while keeping a consistent interface between panel and structure. The clip is engineered as a male component that fits into matching female parts in the Fastmount system, so it supports clean alignment without exposed fasteners on the face of the panel. Because it is part of the Fastmount panel mounting systems category, the clip fits trade workflows where panels need to be installed, removed, and reinstalled while maintaining a consistent fit and pull out performance.
The PC-VMX Fastmount clip mounts into a 3/8 inch hole, so drilling patterns can be standardized across panels and framing, reducing layout time on repetitive work. With a minimum panel thickness of 11/32 inch, this panel assembly fitting suits panels built around that thickness range, so the clip seats within the panel without breaking through the face. The clip uses a self tapping action, which lets it create its own grip in the drilled hole, so installers progress directly from drilling to clip installation as a single sequence. Pull out force rated at 22 lbs means the connection is designed to resist typical manual removal loads, so panels stay seated until intentional removal within the panel mounting system.
This Fastmount male heavy duty variable gap clip functions within panel mounting systems as a panel assembly fitting, so it takes the role of the male connector on the panel or supporting surface. Because it mounts in a 3/8 inch hole, the clip suits situations where precise hole drilling is possible in wood-based or similar panel materials that can support that bore size. The defined minimum panel thickness of 11/32 inch means it is oriented toward panels that are thick enough to receive the clip body while maintaining material around the hole, so the mounting point keeps strength around the perimeter. Fit into matching Fastmount parts SLPC-F1, SLPC-SF1, SLPC-RF1-B, and SLPC-AF1 means the male clip is used wherever those female components are specified, so the installer can build a consistent system using known part numbers. As part of the standard profile series, the clip keeps a defined engagement position relative to the panel surface, so adjacent panels using the same series can align more predictably.
The self tapping design of the PC-VMX clip shapes how installation time and tool use are planned, because the installer drills a 3/8 inch hole and then drives the clip directly, reducing separate threading steps. That behavior turns the drilled hole into both location and thread engagement point, so the spacing of holes directly controls panel alignment and repeatability. The pull out force of 22 lbs defines how the clip handles manual panel removal and reinstallation within the system, so users can anticipate how firmly a panel will stay seated when pulled from the service side. When the male clip fits exactly into SLPC-F1, SLPC-SF1, SLPC-RF1-B, and SLPC-AF1, it creates a matched pair between male and female parts, so replacement or expansion work can reuse those references and keep the same mechanical behavior. The specified minimum panel thickness of 11/32 inch guides which panels are structurally suited to accept the clip, so the clip remains embedded with sufficient material support around the 3/8 inch bore. Operating as a panel assembly fitting within Fastmount panel mounting systems, the PC-VMX clip helps keep system behavior consistent from one project to the next.
The PC-VMX Fastmount clip mounts into a 3/8 inch hole, so drilling can follow a single bit size across all mounting locations on the panel or frame.
The Fastmount male heavy duty clip requires a minimum panel thickness of 11/32 inch, so panels thinner than this value do not provide the intended material support.
The PC-VMX clip has a pull out force of 22 lbs, so the mounted panel resists typical handling forces while still allowing intentional removal within the system.
The Fastmount PC-VMX male clip fits into SLPC-F1, SLPC-SF1, SLPC-RF1-B, and SLPC-AF1, so it connects directly with these specified female parts.
The Fastmount male heavy duty clip functions as a panel assembly fitting in panel mounting systems, creating the male side of the panel-to-structure connection.
The PC-VMX clip lists install tool SLCT-10, so that tool is referenced for driving the clip into the prepared 3/8 inch holes during installation.
Choose the Fastmount male heavy duty clip PC-VMX when a panel assembly fitting is needed that mounts in a 3/8 inch hole, works with minimum 11/32 inch panel thickness, and interfaces with SLPC-F1, SLPC-SF1, SLPC-RF1-B, and SLPC-AF1 female components. This configuration supports panel mounting systems where a 22 lbs pull out force and self tapping installation streamline both initial build and later panel access.
