Stemfix™ Caps

Advantages in using Stemfix Caps?

Although SupaChip screws and other 'head-hole' fixings can be more expensive than normal chipboard screws, the secure fit of the cap stem in the drilled hole makes the cap more difficult to remove.

This is can be a very important OHS consideration when young children are around (such as in kitchen cupboards and wardrobes). 

It is also an important aesthetic consideration when the area can be accessed by the public (such as shop fittings, signs etc).

The secure fit and low-profile also makes Stemifx caps the perfect choice on mobile applications (caravans, transportable homes, Display vehicles etc).

As Stemfix will still work even when the head of the screw is up to 3mm below the worksurface, use of SupaChip screws and Stemfix allows utilisation of less skilled labour for the fitting of the screws (as they do not have to be flush with the worksurface).

Working in Winter - Using Stemfix Caps in Cold Weather

Stemfix are designed and moulded to very fine tolerances, resulting in a very secure fitting that resists tampering.

Stemfix caps rely on the tiny ridges on the stem of the cap distorting as the cap is pushed into the head-hole.  As the plastic become colder, it stiffens and does not flex as much.  For the type of plastic used for Stemfix Caps, these changes to the behaviour of the plastic are most noticable when the plastic is below 15°C.

In colder weather, the plastic becomes stiffer, requiring more force to insert the cap. This may result in the plastic on the crown of the cap stressing, leaving a white mark immediately above the stem. This white spot will often disappear disappear over time, especially if the caps are warmed up.

The Fix: Before using, simply warm the caps in an 'inside' pocket (ie close to your body), or in an oven or similar warming device to a maximum of 100°C. Once fitted, Stemfix Caps can be used in continuous temperatures from -15°C to 120°C without any problems.
