The TYPE 1 connector is a solid and reliable way to connect and hang objects. The Type 1 Button-fix is molded from durable glass-filled nylon. It connects parallel panels and its durability has been verified by an independent test center. Additionally, it can be configured in a variety of ways to best suit your application, with both surface mount and panel embedded configurations, and orientations for vertical or horizontal mounting. Providing the screws and subfloor are correctly fitted and all other instructions are followed, independent testing has shown that a vertical panel attached with four Type 1 fasteners can withstand loads of up to 200kg.
When a panel fastening with proven strength is required, the TYPE 1 connector should be used!
Areas of use:
- Wall and ceiling panels
- Acoustic panels
- Mirror panels
- Shelves and shop windows
- Upholstered panels and banquette seating
Guide loads:
- Wall panel with 4 x Fixes, guide load = maks. 200 kg*.
- Ceiling panel with 4 x Fixes, guide load = maks. 100 kg*.
How to quickly attach the connector?
The marker helps determine where to install the buttons. Once you have attached the connector (see the following pages), insert a marker into each one. Then position the second panel and press firmly. The markers leave recesses on the panel surface that can be used as guides for drilling pilot holes for buttons. Remove markers that can be reused to mark the next panel.
What is BUTTON-FIX?
The Button-fix concept is simple: durable buttons are attached to the back of the board and a matching connector is screwed to the surface of the adjoining board. Then the two plates are placed on top of each other and closed until a “click” sound is heard.
* Advice on panel loads is given with the proviso that the screws and substrate are properly matched, and all other instructions complied with. For critical applications it is essential to perform your own tests.
* Advice is based on independent load tests with Button-fix attached to 18mm MDF or plywood. Allowances should be made when using different panels.
