ABOUT STEMS:

The Stems fastener is specifically designed for plastic, rubber, and other non-metals to be assembled to metal or plastic bearing plates. The unique washer assembled to the Stems fastener is conical and has a standoff column that bears against the metal tapping plate to support the clampload without deforming or cracking the material. The conical design also absorbs torque and helps to prevent stripping.
