P3 Pinless Fastening Systems
The Multotec P3 Pinless Fastening System allows simplified panel maintenance operations. Only the panel and compatible Saddle are required to fasten the screen to the deck. Fewer operations ensure more efficient maintenance, and improved operator safety. P3 system has been designed to have minimal installation and removal forces, yet maximum panel fastening forces to keep the panels in place.
The P3 system ensures reliable operations in the field. Additionally, the P3 system builds on the benefits of the established H-Pinning system whereby panels are locked together to prevent gaps forming between's panels. This prevents damaging particles intrusion.

| Removal is accomplished with a thru shafted screwdriver or prybar. Lifting two of the corners will unclip the panel from the P3 protrusions on the saddle. The panel is then peeled off the deck by hand. | ||
