PANEL CRAFT 216/218 “FRESH LOOK” FIXED CLIPS REDESIGN

Buildings Research Systems, Inc (BRS) utilizing the Superior Seam Technology™ (SST) proprietary design methodology has taken a “fresh look” approach to further improve our Panel Craft 216/218™ fixed clips to enhance performance, engineering design capabilities, and overall functionality. 

“FRESH LOOK” 
REDESIGNED FIXED CLIP HIGHLIGHTS:

The current Panel Craft 216/218 fixed clip parts will be available through our strategic partners Logan Stamping- Logansport, IN or Excel Stamping-Cypress, TX until the existing inventories are depleted. The redesigned and old-style PC fixed clips may be mixed on a project if both parts are either 0”, ½” or 1-1/2” standoff clip heights. The mixed clip application usage ability allows Panel Craft 216/218 licensee’s stock to be fully consumed to prevent obsolete part inventories.

These advancements do come at a cost for research and development, new tooling, additional steel content and independent testing costs. BRS and its’ strategic partners have worked diligently to minimize the cost impact on these improved redesigned Panel Craft 216/218 fixed clips. Due to the extensive full tooling production change over along with retirement of the existing clips dies, supply chain issues, spot steel shortages, the improved clips may require some additional lead times before all clip height stock inventories are replenished. Some of the redesigned PC fixed clips are currently available through Logan Stamping, Inc-Logansport, IN in limited quantities. Please contact them for pricing with all updated PC fixed clip parts scheduled to become available for purchase after April 15, 2022.
