Threaded Standoff (Front View)

Threaded Standoff (Back View)

Mount components onto food processing lines, walls, and sanitary equipment while leaving space to clean in between. These standoffs have a smooth finish and rounded edges to eliminate pits or crevices where bacteria could grow. Made of stainless steel, they won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. A rubber seal stops water and contaminants from entering the body of these standoffs. They are FDA compliant for safe contact with food. Use the included locknut and washer to mount these standoffs to an enclosure, and use the internal threads to fasten them to machines, walls, or other surfaces.

Metric-to-Metric Female Hex Thread Adapters

Increase or decrease metric thread size from one male-threaded part to another. Commonly used to connect two differently sized threaded rods, they have a hex-shaped body, so you can tighten them with a standard wrench. You can also use these adapters to change thread pitch or convert a male-threaded connection to a female-threaded connection. Small adapters can work as threaded standoffs, positioning and separating circuit boards and other components in assemblies.

At about a third of the weight of steel adapters, aluminum adapters are the lightest we offer. They resist corrosion in wet environments.

18-8 stainless steel adapters resist corrosion caused by water. They're good for wet and damp environments but will corrode when exposed to salt water and other chloride solutions.

316 stainless steel adapters have the best corrosion resistance. They stand up to wet environments, just like 18-8 stainless steel adapters, but unlike 18-8 stainless steel adapters, they resist corrosion caused by salt water and harsh chemicals.

Inch-to-Metric Female Hex Thread Adapters

Adapt threaded rods from inch to metric. These adapters connect two male-threaded fasteners, so you can change the gender of a mating part or increase or decrease its thread size. The hex-shaped body fits into the head of a standard wrench. Small adapters can also be used as standoffs, positioning and separating circuit boards and other components in assemblies.
