Perforated Plate HP 80x140x1.5mm Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel 60pcs Fast 833313

Description

The HP perforated plate is an essential component in modern construction and all types of timber structures. This model is specifically designed to serve as a strong and reliable connector plate, used for tasks such as assembling roof trusses, studs, and other load-bearing timber elements. Using high-quality connectors ensures that the structure maintains its dimensional stability and long-term durability, even under significant stress. The plate’s well-considered design makes it easy to integrate into both large-scale construction projects and smaller renovation jobs.

Features and Benefits

• Manufactured from hot-dip galvanized S250GD+Z275 steel sheet, providing effective corrosion protection in demanding environments.
• Precision-stamped nail holes with a diameter of 5 mm, facilitating accurate installation.
• Optimized material thickness of 1.5 mm, offering an excellent balance between flexibility and load-bearing capacity.
• Standardized dimensions of 80x140 mm, ensuring easy compatibility with standard timber sizes.
• Contributes to strong, mechanically secure joints that distribute loads evenly across the timber surface.
• Suitable for a wide range of applications in both new construction and repair projects.

Areas of Use and Applications

Perforated steel plates are primarily used as connecting plates for timber in roof trusses, wall elements, and floor structures. They are ideal for joining two or more timber components within the same plane to transfer tensile and shear forces. To avoid eccentric loading within the structure, two plates must always be used for each connection—one on each side of the timber member. This symmetrical configuration ensures linear force transfer and prevents the timber from twisting or becoming unevenly loaded over time.

Material and Surface Treatment

The product is manufactured from hot-dip galvanized S250GD steel sheet with a Z275 zinc coating. This surface treatment involves applying a protective layer of zinc to the steel, which effectively prevents rust and oxidation. This allows the perforated plate to be used with confidence in unheated spaces, outdoors under cover, or in other environments where moisture may be present. The zinc coating provides self-healing protection at cut edges and minor scratches, significantly extending the service life of the entire structure.

Installation and Fastening

To ensure adequate load-bearing capacity and compliance with current building standards, it is essential to use the correct type of fasteners. For the installation of this perforated plate, the use of 4.0 mm diameter anchor nails or 4.8 mm diameter anchor screws is recommended. The nails or screws should be installed in all—or a specified number of—the pre-drilled holes, depending on the load calculations for the specific project. Ensure that fasteners are driven in or tightened perpendicular to the timber surface to achieve maximum withdrawal resistance.
