Our Fir Tree Plugs are reliable push-fit fasteners designed for quick and secure panel mounting. Commonly used in electrical systems, manufacturing, and automotive assemblies, these barbed plugs offer a simple yet effective solution for joining panels without the need for tools or rear access.

What are Fir Tree Plugs?

Fir Tree Plugs, often referred to as Christmas Tree Plugs, are push-fit fasteners with a ribbed stem that expands within the mounting hole to hold components securely in place. Manufactured from high-grade Nylon 6/6, they are used in blind hole applications where rear access is limited. The ribs compress as the plug is inserted and then expand to lock into the panel, preventing movement and providing a robust connection. These plugs are suitable for permanent or semi-permanent applications where a tamper-resistant and vibration-resistant fit is required.
