#5 Zipper Bottom Stops (X shape)
Bottom stops are the metal components found toward the bottom ends of closed-bottom zippers. Bottom stops are only found on closed-end zippers. They are also known as "bottom stoppers." Bottom stops can also be used to convert separating zippers to closed-end zippers. These bottom stops are 'x' shaped and are most commonly used on metal and molded plastic zippers. They are NOT meant for nylon coil zippers. #5 bottom stops are recommended for #5 molded plastic and metal zippers. Not sure which stop to get? - Black stops pair best with black molded plastic zippers and any metal zipper with black tape. - Silver bottom stops pair best with nickel and aluminum metal zippers. They also pair well with any color molded plastic zipper. - Brass stops pair best with brass metal zippers and with molded plastic zippers with yellow hues (think yellow, gold zippers). - Antique brass stops pair best with antique brass metal zippers and with molded plastic zippers with brown hues.
