TYP 3 connector

TYPE 3 connector is our new push-on/pull-off product for wall and ceiling panels. Simply connects parallel panels, including panels with no clearance at the side. It can be surface-mounted or semi-recessed into the panel and its installation depth matches the Type 1 Button-fix, allowing the two fasteners to be used to hang adjacent panels.

The Fix housing is moulded from PBT and the Button is acetal – both strong and durable engineering polymers. As a general guide, four Button-fix Type 3 fasteners on a vertical panel will support loads weighing up to a maximum of 60kg (132 lbs), provided that the screws and substrate are properly matched and all other installation instructions are complied with. Four Type 3 Button-fixes can also support a ceiling panel of up to 10kg (22 lbs).

TYPE 3 furniture where it is used:

• Wall and lightweight ceiling panels
• Boat interiors with irregular-shaped panels
• Acoustic panels including acoustic felt panels
• Upholstered panels, bed headboards and banquette seating
• Panels at the end-of-run or in tight corners on a Button-fix Type 1 installation, where sliding engagement is not possible

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.
