RRF Purlin Connector Left 210x2mm Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel 50pcs Fast 833378
Description
The RRF purlin connector (left-hand version) from the manufacturer Fast is a robust structural connector designed for use in roof assemblies and load-bearing timber frameworks. It is specifically engineered to secure joints where beams intersect at an angle—most notably when connecting purlins to underlying primary beams. Using correctly dimensioned connectors ensures a stable interaction between the roof’s load-bearing elements, effectively resisting wind loads, snow loads, and uplift forces.
Optimal Use and Design
The primary function of this purlin connector is to lock intersecting timber elements together, preventing lateral displacement or uplift. Its design—featuring angled and offset mounting plates—allows for direct attachment to timber surfaces without compromising the structural integrity of the load-bearing wood. This connector is ideally suited for roof structures in agricultural buildings, industrial halls, garages, holiday homes, and residential properties—specifically where the load-bearing framework is to be covered (clad), or where the visibility of the fastener is not a critical aesthetic concern.
Durable Material and Corrosion Protection
The connector is manufactured from robust 2.0 mm thick sheet steel, which is hot-dip galvanized to provide reliable, long-lasting corrosion protection. This process coats the steel in a layer of zinc that resists moisture and temperature fluctuations within ventilated roof spaces. This ensures that the connection retains its mechanical strength and load-bearing capacity throughout the entire lifespan of the building, without the risk of weakening due to surface rust.
Left-Hand Version and Design
The RRF purlin connector is produced in two mirrored versions: right-hand and left-hand. This specific model is the left-hand version, featuring a height of 210 mm and designed to provide an ample contact surface against both the purlin and the primary beam. Choosing the correct version and positioning it accurately on the structural timber ensures a geometry that facilitates easy installation, even in tight spaces or where truss connections are compact.
Installation Instructions and Fastening
To achieve full load capacity and the required structural performance, the connector must be installed using appropriate fasteners designed for construction hardware. The pre-punched holes have a diameter of 5.0 mm, ensuring a perfect fit for standard connector nails or screws.
- For fastening, use 4.0 mm anchor nails or 4.8 mm anchor screws.
- Fasteners must be installed perpendicular to the timber surface and driven in completely, without damaging the zinc coating of the connector.
- Position the connector flush against both the primary beam and the purlin before beginning to nail or screw.
- Follow the instructions in the structural drawings regarding the number of nails or screws per flange to ensure the specified load-bearing capacity.
