Perforated Plate HP 60x200x2.0mm Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel 50pcs Fast 833311

Description

HP-model perforated plates are essential components in a wide range of timber structures. They primarily serve as robust connecting plates—for instance, when assembling roof trusses, studs, and other load-bearing structural elements. This specific model measures 60x200x2.0 mm and is engineered to meet high standards for stability and load-bearing capacity, whether for individual carpentry projects or large-scale construction. With a versatile design and precisely positioned anchor holes, the plate provides a secure, reliable attachment that effectively distributes loads across timber surfaces. The use of high-quality materials and proven manufacturing methods ensures a long service life and excellent durability, even in Nordic environments.

Features and Benefits

• Manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel sheet (S250GD+Z275) for effective rust protection
• Robust 2.0 mm material thickness, providing high rigidity and resistance to deformation
• Precisely punched 5.0 mm diameter nail holes for an optimal fit during installation
• Optimized 60x200 mm dimensions, perfectly suited for standard timber sizes
• Excellent load distribution, minimizing the risk of timber splitting
• Suitable for a wide range of timber structures, framing, and roof constructions

Uses and Applications

This perforated plate is primarily used for joining and reinforcing timber components where strong, stable connections are required. It is particularly popular in the fabrication and assembly of roof trusses, but also plays a key role in reinforcing corner joints, load-bearing floor structures, and framing, as well as in general carpentry and renovation work. To ensure a stable result and prevent eccentric loading, it is recommended to always use two plates per connection—one on each side of the timber structure. This balances the forces evenly and ensures symmetrical load transfer across the entire joint.

Material and Surface Treatment

The product is manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel sheet (grade S250GD+Z275). The hot-dip zinc coating creates a strong metallurgical bond that protects the steel against corrosion, moisture, and external environmental factors. This makes the perforated plate suitable for use both indoors and in more exposed environments where there is an increased risk of moisture, provided that the overall construction allows for it. The zinc coating provides long-term, maintenance-free protection while preserving the mechanical properties of the metal over time.

Installation and Fastening

To ensure proper attachment and achieve the full load-bearing capacity of the structure, 4.0 mm anchor nails or 4.8 mm anchor screws must be used. The nail holes have a diameter of 5.0 mm, providing the precise clearance required for the fasteners to sit firmly without any play. During installation, it is important to fill all designated holes—or follow the applicable structural drawings—to ensure that the connection is correctly dimensioned for the loads the plate will be subjected to. Always verify that the timber is dry and completely free from damage before installing the plates.
