LOXX Lower Part Round with Screw Holes Stainless Steel

The LOXX Lower Part Round with Screw Holes Stainless Steel is the fixed lower component of the LOXX quick-release fastening system for installation on a rigid surface. The LOXX ball head is positioned in the centre of the round plate and forms the fastening point onto which a matching upper part is snapped. The plate is secured using two screws or rivets, creating a fixed connection point for a cover, fabric panel or other product fitted with a LOXX upper part. This version is made entirely from stainless steel 304 with an untreated finish.

Applications

The round LOXX base plate is used where a fixed fastening point is required on a plate, frame, deck or other rigid surface. The round design provides a larger contact area around the ball head, while the two mounting holes provide a fixed installation.

This stainless steel version is used for applications including boat covers, covers, technical textiles and other constructions where a LOXX upper part needs to be repeatedly attached and released.

What should you consider?

The base plate has a diameter of 24mm. The two mounting holes have a diameter of 4.9mm and a centre-to-centre distance of 16mm. Check beforehand that sufficient space is available to correctly position the plate and both fixing points.

Select screws or rivets that are suitable for the mounting surface and the expected load. Make sure the plate is installed flat against the surface and that the ball head remains freely accessible. For a new construction, it is advisable to make a test installation first.

Processing and use

First determine the required position of the base plate and mark the two mounting holes with a centre-to-centre distance of 16mm. Prepare the required holes in the mounting surface and secure the plate using suitable screws or rivets.

Check that the plate sits flat and firmly against the surface. Then press the LOXX upper part onto the central ball head to lock the fastener. To release the connection, pull the cap of the upper part upwards. After installation, check that the fastener opens and closes smoothly without the upper part contacting the plate or fixing hardware.

Matching products

Within the Fepatex range, this round stainless steel base plate can be combined with products including the LOXX Upper Part 11mm Nickel and LOXX Upper Part 15mm Nickel. The choice between these upper parts mainly depends on the required head size, grip and visible design.

The base plate itself forms the fixed lower fastening point. Only suitable screws or rivets appropriate for the mounting surface are additionally required for installation.

Alternative or other version

In addition to this round stainless steel base plate with screw holes, the Fepatex range also includes a round stainless steel version without mounting holes which is designed for adhesive mounting. Both versions have a diameter of 24mm; the main difference is the method used to attach the plate to the mounting surface.

For applications where a smaller mounting plate is preferred, oval LOXX base plates are also available in Nickel, Chrome and Black. The correct version mainly depends on the mounting surface, available installation space and required fixing method.

Matching Fepatex solution

With LOXX, the upper part, lower fixing and the construction onto which the system is installed need to work together. Fepatex can help determine whether a round base plate with screw holes, adhesive base plate, oval base plate, self-tapping screw, bolt or fabric lower part is the best choice. Factors such as mounting surface, available space, fixing method and required material version can all be taken into account.
