The TIMCO 85 x 178mm Nail Plates are essential hardware for professional carpenters and DIY enthusiasts looking to reinforce timber joints or repair damaged wood framing. These perforated plates provide a robust, low-profile connection that ensures long-term structural integrity; however, they require specific nail sizes to achieve their rated strength, making them best suited for standard timber-to-timber framing applications.

They adhere to the BS EN 14545:2008 standard for timber connectors.
Yes, they feature corrosion-resistant properties suitable for various environments, though they should be kept dry.
The plates are 1mm thick, providing a low-profile finish.
Each plate has 32 holes sized at 3.75mm.
They are designed for reinforcing timber-to-timber joints; consult a structural engineer if using for critical load-bearing applications.
Ensure the timber surface is completely flat before hammering in nails; avoid over-driving nails.
Verify that you are using nails with a diameter no greater than 3.75mm to match the pre-punched holes.
To install, position the plate on the timber surface and use 3.75mm nails to secure through the pre-punched holes. Always ensure that the nail heads are seated completely into the countersunk wells to maintain a flush profile. These plates are compatible with standard structural timber. While they feature high-quality corrosion resistance, it is recommended to inspect the plates periodically in high-humidity areas to ensure no moisture is trapped between the plate and the wood, which could accelerate rot in the timber substrate itself.
