LP-SMX low profile male clip is a surface mount panel assembly fitting from Sugatsune America designed for wall and ceiling panel work where a shallow stand-off is important. This male clip mounts into steel, aluminum and fiberglass, so it can be used across metal framing, panel backs, and composite structures in one project. The LP-SMX fits into matching LP-F8 and LP-AF8A components, creating a defined connection point that controls panel location. A specified pull out force of 33 lbs, or 15 kg, gives you a clear handling limit when sizing panel sections and planning how many clips to use. The LP-SMX installs with 3x#6 countersink screws, so you can fasten through the clip into the base material using common fasteners while the countersink head sits flush for a cleaner surface and more accurate panel seating.
The LP-SMX low profile surface mount male clip is built for direct mounting to steel, aluminum and fiberglass substrates, so installers can work on structural members, metal studs or composite backers without additional adapter plates. Because it fits into LP-F8 and LP-AF8A components, the LP-SMX defines a fixed engagement depth that helps panels seat consistently on both walls and ceilings. Using 3x#6 countersink screws, installers drive through preformed openings in the LP-SMX into the base material, with the countersink profile helping screw heads sit flush inside the clip. With a 33 lbs (15 kg) pull out force rating, the LP-SMX provides a clear reference when determining the number of clips to distribute across each panel area.
The LP-SMX low profile male clip from Sugatsune America is described for wall and ceiling panels, so it serves as a fastening point where removable or serviceable panels are needed around mechanicals or utilities. Because it mounts into steel, aluminum and fiberglass, it can be secured directly to metal framing, structural angles, sheet substrates or molded fiberglass components that form the backing for finished panels. The LP-SMX fits into LP-F8 and LP-AF8A components, so once those corresponding parts are fixed to the mating surface or panel, the LP-SMX acts as the opposing half of the connection. That relationship allows the same LP-SMX clip to be used across different LP-F8 or LP-AF8A layouts while keeping a consistent connection geometry along a run of wall or ceiling panels.
The LP-SMX surface mount male clip relies on 3x#6 countersink screws for installation, which means the clip is anchored with three points of contact that help resist rotation on the substrate during panel engagement. The countersink screw design allows the heads to sit within the clip body, so they do not project into the mating area and interfere with how the LP-SMX enters the LP-F8 or LP-AF8A. A specified pull out force of 33 lbs, or 15 kg, defines how much direct separation load one LP-SMX connection supports, giving planners a numeric basis for clip spacing on wall and ceiling applications. Since the LP-SMX is identified as a low profile male clip, it keeps the projection off the mounting surface minimized, helping panels sit closer to the structure, which can matter where space above ceilings or behind walls is limited.
The LP-SMX low profile male clip is a panel assembly fitting in the panel mounting systems category, used as a surface mount connection point for wall and ceiling panels.
The LP-SMX male clip is described for wall and ceiling panels, so it is intended for mounting panels in vertical and overhead applications on suitable substrates.
The LP-SMX male clip mounts into steel, aluminum and fiberglass, allowing installation on these base materials during wall or ceiling panel construction.
The LP-SMX male clip fits into LP-F8 and LP-AF8A components, forming a matched connection system between the male clip and these receiving parts.
The LP-SMX male clip installs with 3x#6 countersink screws, so three countersunk fasteners hold the clip to the steel, aluminum, or fiberglass substrate.
The LP-SMX clip has a pull out force of 33 lbs, or 15 kg, which indicates the separation resistance of a single connection when planning panel support.
The LP-SMX low profile male clip from Sugatsune America gives wall and ceiling panel installers a defined surface mount fitting that works with steel, aluminum and fiberglass substrates. By fitting into LP-F8 and LP-AF8A components, and using 3x#6 countersink screws with a rated 33 lbs (15 kg) pull out force, the LP-SMX offers clear, published installation and load details. For panel mounting setups that call for a low profile male clip with these characteristics, the LP-SMX provides a documented connection point to build around.
