Bsc Preferred VEL161 Hook and Loop Fastener Strip

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED VEL161 is a self-adhesive hook and loop fastener strip used to attach and reattach components in a wide range of trade and maintenance applications. The pressure-sensitive backing bonds to clean, dry surfaces without fasteners or tools, making it a practical choice for securing panels, wire bundles, insulation covers, access door liners, and similar lightweight assemblies. Hook and loop strips for this system are sold separately. The VEL161 ships as a single unit and is stocked as an equivalent to part number S-17167.

This fastener strip is suited for residential and light commercial applications where repeated attachment and removal is required. Common install scenarios include HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosure labels, duct insulation securing, and general maintenance tasks where screws or adhesive tape are not practical. The low-profile design keeps clearances tight and avoids surface damage during removal. Trade installers, maintenance technicians, and facility service professionals use this type of fastener regularly across multiple disciplines.
