80/20 Inc. 2496 Panel Wire Mesh Retainer Series 10

Product Description

The 80/20 INC. 2496 is a single-arm narrow panel wire mesh retainer designed for use with 80/20 Series 10 T-slot aluminum framing systems. Measuring 1 inch in overall length and 0.563 inches in height, this retainer mounts directly into the T-slot channel or onto the profile frame to secure panels and wire mesh assemblies. Constructed from aluminum with a clear anodized finish, the 2496 provides structural stability and reduces vibration in the assembled structure. It weighs 0.04 pounds and ships as a single unit. This component is typically installed by fabricators, machine builders, and industrial maintenance technicians working with modular aluminum framing.

The 2496 is used in modular T-slot framing applications where panels or wire mesh infill sections require a secure, low-profile retainer. Common install scenarios include machine guarding enclosures, workstation panels, equipment frames, and safety barriers built on the Series 10 80/20 framing platform. The single-arm narrow profile allows it to fit in space-constrained frame assemblies without interfering with adjacent hardware. Installers working on industrial automation, conveyor guards, and modular furniture fabrication will find this retainer applicable to standard panel retention tasks within Series 10 builds.

Installation Notes

This retainer is installed by fabricators or maintenance technicians assembling or servicing modular T-slot framing structures. De-energize any electrical components and relieve any mechanical load on the frame assembly before servicing or replacing retainers. Standard hand tools are sufficient for most T-slot hardware installations. Follow the frame assembly manufacturer guidelines for proper slot engagement and fastener seating.
