The PEM® VariMount® fastening system eliminates issues associated with welding. The assembly is comprised of a standard PEM® nut, stud or standoff mounted permanently into a base plate.  The assembly can then be fastened or bonded to assorted panel types in a variety of ways.


VariMount® assemblies are available with either steel or stainless steel base plates depending on the fastener that is selected.  The VariMount® base plate’s radial holes provide various mounting options.  Base plates can also be purchased separately.

  • 1 Other shank and screw lengths available.
  • 2 The “L” dimension is the height of the installed stud at max grip. The height of the stud will increase if it is installed into thinner material. To calculate “actual L” use this formula: max grip - actual grip + L = “actual L”
