5 x 8 mm Pinchweld Edge Trim with Single Grip Tooth on Each Side

Product Overview

SealsHub supplies the 5 x 8 mm PVC Metal-Reinforced Pinchweld Edge Trim with Single Grip Tooth on Each Side, a compact U channel edge protection profile designed for 0.1–2 mm panel thickness applications.

Featuring a 7 mm channel depth and a segmented steel carrier, this profile provides reliable edge retention for thin metal and plastic panels while maintaining a compact overall structure. The flexible PVC outer layer helps protect exposed panel edges from abrasion, impact, and general wear while creating a clean finished appearance.

The profile incorporates a single grip tooth on each side, providing additional contact with the panel edge to improve positioning stability after installation. The segmented steel carrier supports consistent gripping performance and helps maintain the profile shape while conforming to panel edges.

The push-on design allows quick installation directly onto the panel edge without adhesive or additional fixing hardware in most applications.
