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
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.
