The Timco Flat Connector Plates are designed for professional carpenters and DIY enthusiasts looking to reinforce timber joints, framing, and structural repairs. These plates provide exceptional load-bearing support for studwork through a durable carbon steel construction, though users should note that the galvanised finish is rated for sheltered or occasionally damp environments rather than direct, long-term exposure to harsh exterior weather conditions.

They are rated for sheltered or occasionally damp areas. They are not recommended for direct, constant contact with outdoor elements or wet soil.
The steel is 2mm thick, providing a robust balance between strength and profile.
Yes, they are designed for structural timber framing, provided they are installed according to local building regulations and load requirements.
The M10 slots allow for slight movement and adjustment during installation, making it easier to align with pre-drilled timber holes.
Each pack contains 5 individual flat connector plates.
Ensure the underlying timber surface is flat and flush; avoid over-tightening bolts into uneven wood.
Verify that you are using 3.75mm diameter nails; smaller nails may cause play, while larger ones will not seat properly.
For optimal performance, always align the connector plate centered over the timber joint. Use standard 3.75mm diameter structural nails for the designated holes, and ensure that bolts are tightened with appropriate washers to prevent damage to the plate surface. While the galvanised coating resists rust, it is recommended to keep these plates in sheltered areas or inside wall cavities. If you are working in high-humidity areas, inspect the connection annually for signs of white oxidation; if found, apply a protective anti-corrosion spray or touch-up paint to maintain the integrity of the galvanised finish.
