13 x 17 mm Pinchweld Edge Trim with Asymmetric Grip Teeth
![]()
Product Overview
SealsHub supplies the 13 x 17 mm PVC Metal-Reinforced Pinchweld Edge Trim with Asymmetric Grip Teeth, a flexible U channel profile designed to protect and finish exposed panel edges with a grip range of 3–6 mm.
The profile combines a flexible PVC outer layer with an embedded metal carrier to provide reinforced edge retention while maintaining flexibility for installation. With a 13 mm channel width, it is designed for medium-size panel edges and applications requiring reliable edge protection.
The profile features two grip teeth on one side and one grip tooth on the other side, creating multiple contact points with the panel edge to help maintain the trim position after installation. The flexible PVC exterior helps protect exposed edges from abrasion, impact, and general wear while providing a clean finished appearance.
The push-on design allows the profile to be installed directly onto the panel edge without adhesive or additional fixing hardware in most applications. The profile is supplied in coils or rolls for convenient continuous installation.

Profile Design
The 13 x 17 mm U channel profile combines a flexible PVC outer layer with an embedded metal carrier to provide reinforced edge retention while maintaining flexibility.
The asymmetric grip structure features two grip teeth on one side and one grip tooth on the opposite side, creating different contact points with the panel edge to help maintain the trim position after installation. The 13 mm channel width provides suitable coverage for medium-thickness panel edges.
This construction provides a balance of flexibility, edge protection, and secure retention for metal and plastic panel edges.
Installation
The Pinchweld Edge Trim is installed by pressing the U channel directly onto the panel edge.
- Clean the panel edge to remove dust, oil, and debris.
- Align the channel opening with the panel edge.
- Press the profile firmly onto the edge until fully seated.
- Check that the trim is evenly positioned along the required edge.
The internal grip teeth and metal carrier help maintain the profile position after installation. No adhesive or additional fixing hardware is normally required.

FAQ
What is Pinchweld Edge Trim used for?
Pinchweld Edge Trim is used to cover, protect, and finish exposed edges of metal and plastic panels. The U channel design provides a push-on edge covering for industrial and fabricated components.
How does the Pinchweld Edge Trim stay in place?
The internal grip structure provides friction against the panel edge, while the embedded metal carrier reinforces the profile and helps maintain its fit during use.
Can the trim follow curved or irregular panel edges?
Yes. The flexible PVC construction allows the profile to conform to straight, curved, and shaped panel edges, depending on the bend radius and application.
Can the profile be cut to required lengths?
Yes. The coil / roll supply form allows the profile to be cut to the required installation length during assembly.
Is custom Pinchweld Edge Trim available?
Yes. SealsHub supplies custom profiles with options for dimensions, grip configurations, PVC colors and finishes, metal carrier specifications, roll lengths, and tooling.
Are samples available before bulk orders?
Yes. Samples can be provided for checking profile fit, panel compatibility, and installation before bulk orders.
