Bsc Preferred VEL159 Hook and Loop Fastening Strip

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED VEL159 is a self-adhesive hook and loop fastening strip designed for fast, tool-free attachment and reattachment of components across a wide range of trade and maintenance applications. The pressure-sensitive backing bonds to clean, flat surfaces without hardware, making it practical for securing panels, wire bundles, insulation blankets, access covers, and other serviceable components. Hook and loop strips are sold separately, giving installers the flexibility to size and configure the system to the task at hand. The VEL159 is equivalent to part number S-17165.

This fastening system is suited for use in light commercial and residential settings where repeated access is required without fastener damage to surfaces. Typical applications include securing equipment labels, control panels, duct insulation, electrical enclosure components, and maintenance covers. Trade professionals in HVAC, electrical, and general building maintenance commonly use hook and loop systems where screws or adhesives would complicate serviceability.

Installation Notes

Clean and dry the mounting surface thoroughly before applying the self-adhesive backing to ensure proper adhesion. Press firmly along the full length of the strip and allow adequate dwell time before loading the fastener. No special tools or trade license is required for installation, though HVAC technicians and electricians commonly incorporate hook and loop systems during panel and component reassembly. Avoid applying to rough, painted, or porous surfaces where adhesion may be compromised.
