You can choose between star-shaped push fasteners with or without caps. The standard domed caps and standard shaft caps are made of stainless steel, while deep shaft caps are made of iron with electroplating to meet customer requirements. Decorative caps can be manufactured from other metals, depending on material specifications and order quantity. Decorative caps cover the bottom end of the shaft and the assembled star-shaped push fastener to enhance aesthetic appeal.
Star-shaped push fasteners are available in three configurations: domed shaft caps, deep shaft caps, and extra-deep shaft caps. The capped star-shaped push fastener series primarily provides a cover to shield the positioning area and improve visual appearance. A variety of nut styles and materials are available.
