Perforated Plate HP 160x400x2.0mm Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel 10pcs Fast 833345
Description
Strong and versatile connections are essential when building stable, long-lasting timber structures. The HP 160x400x2.0 mm perforated plate is engineered to meet high strength requirements, whether for individual carpentry projects or larger-scale construction. This hot-dip galvanized connecting plate provides secure fastening and simplifies the joining of timber components where maximum load-bearing capacity is required. Featuring precisely punched nail holes and a corrosion-resistant design—crafted from S250GD+Z275 steel, it is a reliable component built to last.
Versatile applications in building and construction
Perforated plates are widely used in all types of timber construction, serving a key function as connecting plates. While most commonly used for assembling roof trusses, these plates are also excellent for a variety of other timber joints where two wooden elements need to be connected within the same plane. By distributing loads effectively across the surface, the plate helps stabilize the structural framework and counteract movement at the joints.
Properties and benefits of hot-dip galvanized steel
The choice of material plays a significant role in the service life of components in exposed environments. This perforated plate is manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel sheet (S250GD+Z275), meaning the steel is coated with a protective layer of zinc. This effectively prevents rust, even if the structure is exposed to damp conditions during the construction phase or in unheated spaces. Furthermore, the S250GD steel grade ensures a high yield strength, making it ideally suited for load-bearing structural elements.
Installation guidance and avoiding eccentric loading
To achieve optimal stability and ensure the structure can support its calculated load, it is essential to follow established installation principles. To prevent eccentric loading within a connection, two plates should always be used—one on each side of the timber member. For fastening, 4.0 mm anchor nails or 4.8 mm anchor screws are recommended; these fill the 5.0 mm nail holes optimally and provide maximum withdrawal resistance.
