fastmountGlobal  leaders  in  panel  mounting  systems,  Fastmount,  launches  its strongest clip to date – the extra heavy duty, PC-VMX.

Continuing  to  revolutionise  the  installation  of  panels,  Fastmount  has  designed  the new  easy  to  fit,  extra  heavy  duty,  self  tapping  male  clip  to  meet  growing  demand from clients in the marine sector. Designed  and  made  in  New  Zealand,  the  PC-VMX  clip  is  the  perfect  solution  for superyacht  panels  exposed  to  high  g-forces,  extreme  wind  loading  and  climate conditions  as  well  as  for  interior  design  applications.  With  its  pull  out  load  of  15kg, the  PC-VMX  also  has  exceptionally  high  shear  strength  due  to  low  clip  movement within the clip set. Gregg  Kelly,  Managing  Director  of  Fastmount,  comments,  “Our  new  PC-VMX is  an excellent example of the evolution of a classic Fastmount product to help solve our clients’  installation  requirements.  Originally  designed  as  a  seat  back  clip  for superyacht tender seat covers where the protective covering needed to be wrapped around the back of the cushions, customers started using the PC-VM1 for wall and ceiling panels to exploit its features. So, we’ve evolved the design to create the new PC-VMX  to  deliver  style  and  installation  benefits  wherever  and  whenever  heavy panels need to be mounted.” In keeping with all Fastmount products, the PC-VMX clip is durable, easy to fit and align  and  can  be  used  for  a  variety  of  applications  where  invisible  fixing,  superior joint finish and secure mounting is required.  Available  in  black,  the  PC-VMX  male  clip  can  be  used  with  female  clips  from  the standard Fastmount range including the PC-F1A, PC-RF1, PC-SF1 and PC-AF1.   It can be fitted and removed easily using the specially designed tools.  The PC-VMX clip can be purchased from any one of Fastmount’s global network of distributors.
