No: 18 Flat Angle Bracket 2X23X60 mm (100 Pieces)

No. 18 Flat Brace – 2 × 23 × 60 mm, Box of 100

No. 18 Flat Braces are practical connecting plates designed to create balanced, medium‑size joints in furniture manufacturing, timber construction, and assembly work. With a 2 mm thickness, 23 mm width, and 60 mm length, they deliver strong connections despite their compact dimensions; they are the ideal solution for narrow and medium‑span joint locations. The flat profile fits neatly along panel edges, inside frames, and at furniture carcass joints. Supplied in a pack of 100, they provide economical stock management for workshops and small‑to‑medium‑scale projects.

Product Advantages

• Balanced 23 mm Width: Offers a broader grip area than narrower models; distributes load more effectively while still fitting comfortably in confined spaces

Practical 60 mm Length:

• The ideal size for medium‑span connections — neither excessively long nor too short — and one of the most frequently chosen dimensions for standard applications
• Reliable Build: 2 mm thickness; will not bend, warp, or deform under normal and medium‑weight loads
• Zinc‑Plated Finish: Rust‑resistant indoors; no discolouration, maintains a clean, neat appearance
• Two‑Point Security: Resists rotation and slippage compared with single‑hole fixings; the joint remains stable
• Simple Installation: No special tools required; secure with suitable screws in seconds
• Dual‑Function Design: Acts as both connector and reinforcement in a single piece — no separate components needed
• Convenient Bulk Pack: Easy stock holding for workshops and projects; low unit cost delivers an economical solution

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the mounting surface is flat, clean, and structurally sound
• Mark the joint position; centre the brace so it bears evenly across both mating components
• Select suitable fasteners: use wood screws with 4 mm head diameter; match screw size to the hole diameter
• Complete alignment before fully tightening; do not over‑tighten — material may split or the plate may distort
• Add extra plates for heavier loads; use pairs in parallel rather than a single row
• Space multiple plates evenly to ensure balanced load distribution
• Use stainless‑steel screws in damp locations such as kitchens and bathrooms
• Loosen screws gradually in a cross pattern during disassembly to avoid straining the base material

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this differ from other models?
Narrower models are 16 mm wide; at 23 mm wide, No. 18 provides a broader grip area. Its 60 mm length strikes a practical balance between compactness and strength.

What weight can it support?
With two fixing points, it is designed primarily for light‑to‑medium connections rather than heavy‑duty use. Reliable when installed on sound base material.

Will it rust?
Zinc plating provides adequate protection for indoor use. For exterior or persistently damp environments, the stainless‑steel version is recommended.

Are other sizes available?
Yes — lengths include 50 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm, and 90 mm; widths also available in 16 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm, and 40 mm.

Are screws included?
No — braces only. Purchase fixings separately, matched to your material type.
