5-Inch Heavy Duty Lever-Lock Suction Cap with M8 Female Thread

Specifications

The Spacetek 5-inch heavy duty lever-lock suction cap gives you a reusable temporary mounting point on smooth, non-porous surfaces. It is useful when you need to attach a compatible M8 bracket, hook, light accessory, camera bracket, sign or test fixture without drilling holes or using adhesive.

The built-in M8 female thread accepts compatible M8 threaded hardware, making it a handy no-drill option for caravans, RVs, 4WDs, workshops, field testing and temporary display setups.

⚠️ This is a temporary suction-based mounting accessory. It must not be treated as a permanent, structural or load-critical fixing.
