Clip-in-Clips
Clip-in-clips offer significant "installed cost" savings
as they snap into a pre-punched hole. For each series of
fastener three clip-in-clips are offered that cover most
common sheet thicknesses.
When a clip-in-clip is installed a gap (dim. Q) is
always formed between the two panels, caused by the legs
of the clip sitting on the top face of the fixed panel.
This gap needs to be calculated to determine whether it
has to be included in the calculation of the grip stud
length (dim. H as shown in
component selection) This is done by subtracting the
thickness of the panel into which the clip fits (dim. Z)
from the constant (dim. R) given in the following table
for each clip-in-clip.
If the panels are required to fit as flush with each
other as possible the gap must be included in dimension
H. If there is already a gap between the two panels (dim
Y), for example caused by a return edge, then only the
greater gap dimension need be included in the
calculation of dimension H.

Clip-in-Clip Installation
Clip-in-clips snap in from the front of the panel into
pre-punched rectangular holes. The hole sizes for each
series of clip is given below and the hole is the same
for all panel thickness within a series.
