Features:
- 2x fully threaded plastic rods. Material: PTFE / polytetrafluoroethylene. White. Size: M8 x 500 mm. Diameter: 8 mm. Pitch: 1.25 mm. SKU: 958.
- M8 PTFE gives a larger plastic thread for light alignment bars, spacer runs and adjustable positioning.
- Non-conductive PTFE can help keep the fixing path separate from nearby conductive parts in suitable builds.
- The 500 mm rod can be used as a longer threaded section or cut into custom lengths.
- Use for light non-metallic spacing and alignment; confirm thread engagement and material suitability before fitting.
Product Summary:
These M8 x 500 mm white PTFE threaded rods are supplied as two larger fully threaded plastic bars. M8 gives more handling area than smaller PTFE sizes and is useful for light alignment bars, adjustable spacer runs and non-metallic threaded sections where a smooth plastic thread is preferred. PTFE offers low friction, electrical insulation and broad chemical compatibility in suitable conditions. It is still softer and less rigid than metal, so it should be used where the material behaviour is appropriate. Cut carefully if shorter sections are required and use compatible M8 nuts without excessive torque.
