EC1 Edge Clips have three forms to cater for slight variations in the applications they are required to fit. These quick fit versatile fasteners are available in a wide selection of panel ranges to satisfy any conceivable application. These parts are usually supplied in a black phosphate finish. HSL, in line with all other manufacturers of spring steel clips, refuses to accept liability for any premature failure of a spring steel part it supplies with an Electro-Plated Finish that has been specified by the customer, due to uncertainty regarding the incidence of, identification of, control of and removal of Hydrogen Embrittlement. Despite accurate processing controls, baking cannot be relied upon to guarantee removal of Hydrogen. We strongly recommend alternative finishes be specified.
