Bsc Preferred VEL150 Hook and Loop Fastening Strips

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED VEL150 is a self-adhesive hook and loop fastening system designed for quick, repeatable attachment and removal. Each set includes both hook and loop components, making it a complete fastening solution out of the package. The industrial-grade strips are waterproof, rated for both indoor and outdoor use, and deliver an average shear strength of 36 psi - nearly three times the 13 psi rating of standard hook and loop strips. This product is suited for maintenance professionals, facilities technicians, and trade contractors who need a reliable, repositionable fastening method across a range of applications.

The VEL150 is appropriate for industrial and commercial settings where standard fastening strips fall short. Its waterproof construction makes it suitable for environments with moisture exposure, such as HVAC equipment rooms, outdoor enclosures, and wet utility spaces. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and general building trades use hook and loop strips for securing wire bundles, panels, insulation, and lightweight components. This product is equivalent to part number S-17168.

Installation Notes

Clean and dry the mounting surface thoroughly before applying the self-adhesive backing to ensure maximum bond strength. Press firmly across the full surface of the strip for several seconds after placement. Allow adhesive to cure before applying load. No special tools are required for installation, though surface preparation is critical for long-term holding strength in high-moisture environments.
