The TYPE 1 METAL connector is a solid and fire-resistant way to connect and hang objects. The Type 1 Metal connector is die-cast from a zinc alloy and fitted with a stainless steel spring. It connects parallel panels and its durability has been verified by an independent institution. It can be configured in a variety of ways to best suit your application, surface mounted or embedded in a panel, and oriented 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 secured with four Type 1 Metal fasteners can withstand loads of up to 350kg. For critical applications it is necessary to perform your own tests.
TYPE 1 METAL connector where is it used:
- Fireproof panels
- Environments where fire smoke toxicity is a problem
- Applications subject to vibration or shock loads
- Panels that are repeatedly removed
Guide loads:
- Wall panel with 4 x Fixes, guide load = maks. 350 kg*.
- Ceiling panel with 4 x Fixes, guide load = maks. 230 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.
