1219-R and 127P Retainer Installation

9906-RS HAND TOOL is used to push the retainer over a Tapered Mandrel (included) and over the cam end of the stud until it reaches the undercut. Once the retainer reaches the undercut, it snaps back to its original size and prevents the stud from coming out of the panel.

Any flat block may be used to support the Flush Head Stud while the retainer is attached.

1. Place the stud head on the support and place the stud through the panel. Use a Flat Surface Plate in place of the block.  
2. Place the retainer on mandrel.  
3.Align ring or spring ends so that they will miss the stud cam.  
4. Place the mandrel in end of stud cam and place the tool over mandrel

Aluminum Half Grommet Clinching

In this case, the 127H Half Grommet Retainer is flattened against the underside of the panel and can cause a gap between the panel containing the stud and the support containing the receptacle. Dimpling the support will allow the panel and support to come into direct contact by allowing the retainer to fit in the dimple. See S-Spring Receptacle Dimpling Tool.

Note: This stud panel hole permits use of S-Spring receptacles without a dimpled stud hole in support.
