Timber Connector – Galvanised Steel – Residential & Commercial Use

Product Overview

The M12 x 50mm Double Sided Timber Connector is designed to enhance the load-bearing strength of bolted timber joints. This precision-engineered circular steel plate features serrated teeth that press into the wood, preventing joint rotation and distributing loads evenly.

Manufactured from high-strength galvanized steel, this connector offers superior corrosion resistance and reliable mechanical anchorage for structural timber applications. It features a double-sided format with serrations on both faces for maximum load transfer and stability under bidirectional loading.

Features & Benefits

• High-Strength Construction: Made from galvanized carbon steel for long-lasting structural performance.
• Corrosion Resistant: Zinc coating protects against moisture and oxidation.
• Enhanced Load Transfer: Serrated teeth distribute stress evenly to prevent timber crushing.
• Double-Sided Format: Interlocks with each timber member for balanced load distribution.
• M12 Compatibility: Precisely sized for M12 bolts to ensure strong connections.

Applications

• Timber-to-Timber Joints: Enhances load transfer in compression and tension joints.
• Timber-to-Steel Joints: Ideal for connections involving steel plates or brackets.
• Roof Trusses and Frames: Provides reinforced connections in structural assemblies.
• General Carpentry: Suitable for applications requiring controlled load distribution and joint rigidity.

Installation Guidance

• Surface Preparation: Ensure timber surfaces are clean and dry.
• Positioning: Align connector centrally over the pre-drilled M12 bolt hole.
• Pressing: Drive teeth into timber using bolt tightening or a mechanical press.
• Assembly: Fit the bolt through the joint, ensuring even compression.
• Final Check: Tighten securely to achieve full tooth embedment without over-compression.

• Material: Galvanized Steel
• Compatible Bolt Size: M12
