The FATH color code
FASTER DISTINCTION, MORE EFFICIENT WORKING
T-slot nuts are central elements in aluminum profile systems and are used millions of times every day. Until now, however, T-slot nuts with different thread sizes have looked very similar, which often leads to confusion and additional effort.
The new FATH slot nuts with colored balls (Ø 5 mm) solve this problem: Each thread size is immediately recognizable by a clearly defined color marking. This makes selection easier, reduces search times, and ensures greater process reliability in assembly and maintenance..
THE ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE
Quick visual differentiation:
Color code immediately indicates thread size
Greater efficiency and safety:
mix-ups and incorrect installations are avoided
Robust and durable:
Sliding blocks made of galvanized steel with colored plastic balls
COLOR CODING of THREAD SIZES
Plans are already in place to expand the range in the future by introducing further ball diameters.
