Perforated Plate HP 160x240x1.5mm Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel 30pcs Fast 833343
Description
Perforated plates (HP) are an essential component in all types of modern timber construction. They primarily serve as strong, reliable connector plates—for instance, when assembling roof trusses, framing members, or load-bearing timber elements. These plates offer a wide range of applications, from large-scale construction projects to smaller carpentry tasks, and are manufactured in various sizes and thicknesses to meet rigorous load-bearing requirements. To prevent eccentric loading within the structure, two plates should always be used per joint—positioned on opposite sides of the timber—to ensure optimal force transfer. For installation, the use of 4.0 mm anchor nails or 4.8 mm anchor screws is recommended to guarantee maximum load-bearing capacity.
Features and Benefits
- Manufactured from hot-dip galvanized S250GD+Z275 sheet steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and a long service life in demanding environments.
- Optimized material thickness of 1.5 mm ensures a strong, stable connection without adding unnecessary weight.
- Features precision-punched nail holes (5.0 mm diameter) designed for standard fasteners.
- Ensures efficient distribution of tensile and shear forces within complex timber joints and connections.
- Facilitates fast, simple, and efficient installation—whether on the construction site or in a factory setting.
- High dimensional stability, preventing twisting or deformation under load.
Applications
This versatile perforated plate is ideally suited for a wide range of construction and renovation applications. Typical uses include joining timber members, assembling and reinforcing roof trusses, connecting floor joists, and anchoring wall studs to load-bearing structures. Thanks to its hot-dip galvanized finish, the plate performs exceptionally well in both indoor environments and sheltered outdoor settings where resistance to moisture and climatic fluctuations is required.
Installation Instructions
To ensure a correct and secure installation, it is essential to follow current industry standards for timber structures. Always use two plates per connection—positioned symmetrically on either side of the timber element—to eliminate the risk of eccentric loading. Secure the plate firmly through all designated holes using 4.0 anchor nails or 4.8 anchor screws, ensuring that the dimensions of the fasteners comply with the structural drawings. Verify that the timber is dry and in full contact with the plate before fastening.
