Get quoteThe Large Plastic Melon-Seed Turn Button Clip Black (SKU: U26) is the heaviest-duty option in XKY Framing’s ABS plastic clip series. With a 1.5 mm thick body and 21 mm length, it provides steel-comparable structural rigidity in a polymer package for large picture frames that benefit from non-metallic hardware.
In humidity-sensitive environments such as tropical climates or coastal galleries, metal clips can corrode despite protective coatings. The U26 Large Plastic Melon-Seed Turn Button Clip Black eliminates corrosion risk entirely while its 1.5 mm thick ABS body provides the rigidity needed for large-format backing retention.
Total length: 21 mm. Head width: 7.4 mm. Tail width: 8.4 mm. Hole diameter: 3 mm. Thickness: 1.5 mm.
Seat large backing board. Align 3 mm hole. Fasten with M3 screw. Rotate wide 8.4 mm tail over backing edge to lock. Use 10+ clips for frames over 60 cm span.
For medium plastic see U25 Medium Plastic Melon-Seed Turn Button Clip Black. For equivalent metal large clip see U03 Large Metal Turn Button Clip Black.
ABS plastic, matte black, 1.5 mm body thickness.
Q: Why is U26 1.5 mm thick?
A: Compensates for the longer 21 mm lever arm, maintaining equivalent torsional rigidity.
Q: Can U26 replace metal clips on large frames?
A: Yes for lightweight backing up to 60×80 cm. For heavy MDF use metal clips.
Q: Is U26 food-safe?
A: ABS is food-contact safe in many jurisdictions; confirm local regulations for food applications.

Why is U26 1.5 mm thick when U25 is 1.2 mm?
The extra 0.3 mm thickness compensates for the longer 21 mm lever arm, maintaining equivalent torsional rigidity when rotating the clip against a backing board edge.
Can U26 replace metal clips on large frames?
U26 can replace metal clips on frames up to 60 × 80 cm with lightweight backing. For heavier backing boards (3 mm MDF or above), metal clips are recommended.
Is U26 food-safe or suitable for display cabinets?
ABS is food-contact safe in many jurisdictions. U26 is suitable for display cabinets, but confirm local regulations for food-contact applications.
