TYPE 2 connector

The TYPE 2 connector is a solid and easy-to-use way to connect and hang items. Button-fix Type 2 is made of nylon, connects the panels at a 90° angle and snaps shut with a simple press. It is ideal for panels with no clearance above or to the side and for applications where easy access is a priority. 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 2 fasteners can withstand loads of up to a maximum weight of 50kg. For critical applications it is necessary to perform your own tests. Each Type 2 requires a force of approximately 7 kg to separate the button from the handle; this must be taken into account when designing the installation and determining safety factors.

TYPE 2 connector where is it used:

• Access panels for plumbing or electrical installations
• Bathtub panels
• Detachable furniture
• Acoustic panels
• Light boxes

Guide loads:

• Wall panel with 4 x Fixes, guide load = maks. 60 kg*.
  Never use Type 2 on ceiling panels.

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.
* Disengagement force for a single Type 2 Fix is approximately 7 kg
