PROF Nail Plate 80x40x2.0 mm

The PROF nail plate, measuring 80x40x2.0 mm, is a robust steel connector engineered for professional timber construction and carpentry applications. This high-quality metal plate serves as a critical structural component, designed to reinforce wood-to-wood joints and enhance the overall stability of wooden frames, trusses, and various load-bearing structures. Its precise dimensions and durable steel construction ensure a reliable connection that withstands mechanical stress in diverse building environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the PROF nail plate is its ability to provide superior structural integrity to timber assemblies. By distributing loads effectively across the joint, it prevents shifting and structural failure in wooden frameworks. The 2.0 mm thickness offers an optimal balance between flexibility for installation and rigidity for long-term support. Its standardized design allows for efficient integration into both large-scale construction projects and smaller residential repairs, providing a consistent and dependable fastening solution.

Suitable for

• Reinforcing timber joints in roof trusses
• Constructing wooden frames for walls and floors
• General carpentry and woodworking projects
• Repairing damaged or loose wooden connections

When it may not be suitable

This nail plate is intended for use with timber and may not be suitable for connecting non-wood materials such as masonry, concrete, or metal beams. It is not designed for applications requiring high-corrosion resistance in extreme outdoor or marine environments unless additional protective coatings are applied.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 80 mm length by 40 mm width
• Material: Durable steel
• Thickness: 2.0 mm
• Application: Wood-to-wood structural connection

How to use

To use the PROF nail plate, position the plate centrally over the joint where the two timber members meet. Ensure the wood surfaces are flush and properly aligned before attachment. Secure the plate using appropriate nails or screws through the pre-punched holes, ensuring that the fasteners are driven straight and fully seated to maintain structural contact. It is recommended to use fasteners that are compatible with the plate's material and the specific load requirements of the project.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the dimensions match your specific structural requirements
• Ensure the quantity purchased is sufficient for all planned joints
• Check that your chosen fasteners are compatible with the plate's hole diameter
• Confirm the suitability of steel for your specific environmental conditions

Usage recommendations

For optimal structural performance, always ensure that the nail plate is installed on both sides of the joint if the load-bearing requirements demand it. Regularly inspect the connections after installation to ensure no loosening occurs due to timber shrinkage or environmental changes.
