FAQs
Can these brackets be used outdoors?
Yes, the Z275 hot-dip galvanised coating provides excellent protection against moisture and corrosion in outdoor environments.
Are these brackets embossed?
No, they feature a smooth, non-embossed surface, allowing for installation from either the inside or outside of a joint.
What material are these brackets made from?
They are constructed from durable DX51D steel with a hot-dip Z275 zinc coating.
How do I ensure a rigid connection?
Ensure the timber joints are tight before installing and use the maximum number of screws allowed by the bracket's hole pattern.
Are the screws included?
No, this product includes the brackets only. You should select screws suitable for the material you are fastening to, such as treated timber screws.
Troubleshooting
Bracket appears loose after installation
Ensure that the fasteners used are the correct diameter for the holes and that they are driven fully into the substrate.
Surface oxidation or white dust on the bracket
This is often 'white rust' common on zinc-coated steel in humid areas; clean with a soft brush and apply a galvanised spray coating.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent corrosion resistance due to Z275 galvanised finish
- High structural integrity for load-bearing applications
- Flexible mounting options due to flat, non-embossed design
- Compatible with a wide range of timber and steel materials
- Easy to install with standardized hardware
Cons
- Requires proper load calculation for specific structural projects
- Zinc coating may require touch-up if scratched deeply during installation
- Not suitable for aesthetic applications where concealed hardware is preferred
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, position the bracket over the joint and use the pre-drilled holes to secure it to your framing material. Always ensure the timber is level before tightening screws to avoid internal stress. For the best performance, use galvanized screws or nails that are compatible with the bracket's hole diameter to minimize play. While the brackets are resistant to corrosion, it is recommended to inspect them every 12-24 months if used in high-moisture outdoor areas. If you notice any signs of white oxidation or surface rust, treat the affected area with a cold-galvanizing spray to maintain the integrity of the protective layer.
