How do we decide whether to use the 7/16″ or the 11/32″ application of PTFE?

The PTFE standard assembly is a PTFE to PTFE and10 gauge backing plate combination which as a whole is 7/16″ thick. Some customersrequire the 11/32″ application of PTFE and this thickness can only be achieved when youutilize a stainless steel upper slide plate element.
