Who sells clinch bolts???

bph0013 · 05/10/2008, 01:14 PM

I am looking for a couple of clinch bolts, I think they're called. I've also seen them called PEM bolts. They are the bolts that most of the major hanging kits PFO, Icecap, etc. come with where you run a wire through a hole at the top of the bolt and can adjust it by pushing down on a piece of metal at the top of it. I know I can buy a kit for around $30.00 from most major retailers but I don't need all the extra hardware that comes with it. I know they get those bolts from somewhere so there has to be a source that sells them. If anyone knows where I might be able to find them please let me know. Thanks.

PEM is a brand from Penn Engineering, they make specialty bolts and fasteners.

As for the adjusters, there are many brand, what exactly are you trying to do?

I want to be able to adjust the pendant up and down, and remove the pendant easily to change out bulbs.

The height adjustors sold by sunlught supply (and others) will be much easier to deal with.

Just lift and lower the fixture as needed, no cinch bolts are other adjustments are needed.
