The Plasti-Grip PBLP2 Prong Washer is a 2-inch diameter plastic washer designed for use with screws in polymer-based (PB) EIFS systems.
Its low-profile thermal break design features a recessed hole that encapsulates the screw head, helping reduce thermal bridging while providing reliable insulation attachment.
Approved by EIFS system manufacturers, the PBLP2 Prong Washer includes a patented prong feature that allows for pre-spotting and easy on-the-wall screw assembly without hand assembly. Keyholes enhance base coat bonding, and the washer is designed for use with Grip-Deck screws to attach EPS or XPS foam insulation in PB EIFS applications. *Patented and/or Patent Pending.
