Perforated Plate HP 80x200x2.0mm Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel 50pcs Fast 833315

Description

HP perforated plates are an essential component in modern timber construction of all kinds, serving primarily as strong connector plates—for example, when assembling roof trusses, studs, and load-bearing elements. These versatile plates have a wide range of applications, from smaller building projects to extensive structural framing. Designed with a focus on strength and durability, they are built to meet high load requirements and ensure a stable structure. To avoid eccentric loading within the timber joint, two plates must always be used per connection—one on each side of the timber. For installation, use 4.0 mm anchor nails or 4.8 mm anchor screws to ensure the best possible grip and safety.

Features and Benefits

• High-quality material made from hot-dip galvanized steel sheet (S250GD+Z275), providing excellent rust protection in demanding environments
• Optimized 5.0 mm nail holes, designed for standard anchor nails and anchor screws
• Creates extremely strong and stable joints when assembling roof trusses and other load-bearing timber structures
• Suitable for a wide range of construction projects, renovations, and carpentry work where structural strength is a priority
• Robust 2.0 mm material thickness, capable of withstanding high stress and ensuring a long service life
• Symmetrical design that facilitates accurate positioning and installation on the construction site

Applications in Building and Construction

Perforated steel plates play a key role in most construction projects where timber components are joined end-to-end or at angles. They are primarily used in the fabrication and assembly of roof trusses, where precise joints are essential for the load-bearing capacity and safety of the roof. Beyond roof trusses, these plates are frequently used to join load-bearing studs, reinforce wall structures, and construct outbuildings, decks, and other timber-framed structures. By distributing the load evenly across multiple attachment points, they reduce the risk of the timber splitting or the joint failing under heavy loads.

Material and Corrosion Protection

The product is manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel sheet of grade S250GD+Z275. This special surface treatment involves coating the steel with a layer of zinc, which provides protection against moisture, oxygen, and external factors that could otherwise lead to corrosion. This makes the plates highly suitable for environments where moisture exposure is a risk, while ensuring they retain their mechanical integrity over a long period. The galvanization helps ensure that the connections remain strong and stable throughout the entire lifespan of the building.

Assembly and Installation Tips

Proper installation is absolutely critical to achieving full structural strength. To avoid harmful eccentric loading, always use two plates per connection, positioned as mirror images on opposite sides of the timber members. For fastening, it is recommended to use 4.0 mm anchor nails or 4.8 mm anchor screws, which fill the holes securely and resist shear forces. Ensure that all designated nail holes are filled with fasteners in accordance with applicable building codes and sizing tables to guarantee that the connection can withstand the intended loads.
