Hello, and welcome to 80/20's product highlight series. Today we'll be taking a look at panel and mesh retainers. These retainers give you a strong, secure connection and also make it simple to swap out panels and mesh. These are easy to install, and are available in fractional, metric, and compatible across a wide range of profile series.

Now when it comes to using the panel retainer, machining will need to be done to your panel with a drillthrough hole. You'll also need a bolt, and bolt assemblies to secure your panel and mount your retainer to the profile. More information on 80/20's machining services, and recommended bolt assemblies, can be found in the 80/20 product catalog.

Now when it comes to installing the panel retainer, you'll take your retainer with a preloaded Tnut and bolt on it, and slide it right into the open Tslot. You'll find your location, tighten that down and secure it. Next you'll grab your panel and slide it into the open Tslot, you'll take your other bolt, and go on the other side of the panel, and tighten that through to the retainer. Then tighten that down.

Now mesh retainers work basically the same with one small difference. You have your retainer locked into place. Take your mesh, slide it into the open Tslot. This time you'll take a backing plate and slide it onto the other side of the mesh; we'll go ahead and line up our holes. We'll feed our bolt through, get that started, and then we'll finish it off with a wrench.

Now one last thing with these retainers is they also come in a double style. These allow you to securely fasten mesh and panel to both sides of the profile, as seen here. Hopefully you found this segment on mesh and panel retainers helpful. For more information, visit 80/20.net and make sure to subscribe to future 80/20 videos. And as always, make it a great day.
