Are FRP and GRP fasteners the same product type?+
GRP means glass-reinforced plastic. The FRP fasteners on this page use glass reinforcement, so fiberglass fasteners, GRP fasteners and GFRP fasteners refer to the same material family here. The resin, reinforcement and finished component still need to be specified.
Can a metric nut be fitted to a similar-sized UNC rod?+
No. Match the thread system, diameter, pitch, tolerance and engagement length. A similar outside diameter does not make metric and UNC threads compatible. Request a matched rod, nut and washer set when the connection is being specified together.
Can FRP fasteners directly replace steel bolts?+
Do not assume a size-for-size replacement. The joint needs its own review of tensile and shear demand, thread engagement, bearing area, creep, temperature and installation procedure. Provide the existing connection drawing and loads for assessment.
What installation torque should be used?+
Use the installation procedure approved for the supplied rod or bolt, nut, washer and joint. A generic steel-bolt torque table does not establish a suitable FRP installation torque. Request the applicable tightening limits and supporting test data with the quotation.
Are grating clips also made of fiberglass?+
The grating clips linked from this page are 316 stainless-steel hardware for FRP panels. Molded grating uses the M/C/J selection guide; pultruded grating uses M/J/T. These metal clips do not make an electrically insulating connection.
Can I request custom lengths or molded fittings?+
Yes. Send the drawing, dimensions, quantity, resin or exposure conditions and delivery destination. F1 will confirm available sizes, tooling, sample requirements, minimum order quantity and lead time in the quotation.
