The Diyuk Lp5 flat joining plate is an essential hardware component designed for professional carpenters, construction workers, and DIY enthusiasts who require robust structural reinforcement for timber framing. These CE-certified plates excel in providing superior load-bearing strength and long-term corrosion resistance in demanding environments, though users should ensure they have the correct fastener diameter to match the multi-hole pattern for optimal structural integrity.

Yes, the Z275 hot-dip galvanised coating provides high-level corrosion resistance, though regular inspection is recommended in high-salt environments.
The plate is 2.5mm thick, providing significant structural rigidity for heavy-duty applications.
Yes, the Lp5 is CE Certified and conforms to PN-EN 14545 standards for structural steel connectors.
Absolutely. These plates are ideal for structural timber framing, including pergolas, decking, and roof trusses.
The multi-diameter pattern is designed for standard structural nails, screws, or bolts. Always ensure the fasteners are rated for exterior use if the project is outdoors.
Verify that you are using the correct diameter screw or bolt specified for the Lp5 multi-hole pattern.
This is normal oxidation of the galvanisation layer (white rust) in high-humidity areas; use a light wire brush to clean if aesthetics are required, but the structural integrity remains intact.
To install, position the plate centrally across the timber joint, ensuring both sides have equal surface contact. Use high-quality structural fasteners that match the specific diameter of the pre-drilled holes. For exterior applications, ensure that the timber used is also pressure-treated or rot-resistant to match the lifespan of the galvanised steel. Periodic inspection for debris or moisture accumulation around the plate edges is advised in marine-adjacent or highly industrial environments to maintain the galvanised layer's integrity.
