Hidden solution and quick to install TUF-S

50% less installation timeThe TUF-S blind fastener from SFS issuperior to previous approaches to the attachment of HPL or fiber cement cladding panels with regards to installation and long-term security.

Installation is performed quicklyand securely by one person, without the use of special tools. Installation time is also reduced by up to 50% when compared to conventional blind attachments. The TUF-S blind fastener can be removed once if required.

1. Pilot drilling in the HPL or fiber cement panel with the 6 mm dia. HSS blind hole drill with depth stop

2. Position the pre-drilled bracket over the hole in the panel and push through the TUF-S blind fastener

3. Remove the mandrel completely with the riveting tool GESIPA PowerBird® Pro, use nosepiece 17/36 or 17/40

Easy• No complex undercut hole necessary –

simple standard hole sufficient• No special tools to install necessary• Holes can be drilled on site• Quick and easy installation with the

GESIPA PowerBird® Pro

Secure• Eliminates strip out• High pullout values• No unwinding• One time removal possible

Designed for use with HPL or fiber cement panels

Optimum securityIn addition to an easy and timesavinginstallation, the TUF-S is a secure solution. The fastener cannot be over-drivenduring installation. Due to its radial expansion when the mandrel is removed, the partially cut thread becomes wedged in the panel material, generating very high pullout values.

Severely reduces the possibility of unwinding due to thermal expansion and contraction or vibration. The sleeve is made of austenitic stainless steel (material DIN 1.4401, grade A4-316 SS).
