No: 26 Flat Angle Bracket 2x40x80 mm (100 Pieces)

No. 26 Flat Brace – 2 × 40 × 80 mm, Box of 100

No. 26 Flat Braces are wide‑format joining plates designed to create strong, broad connections in furniture manufacturing, timber construction, and general assembly work. With a 2 mm thickness, 40 mm width, and 80 mm length, they deliver excellent grip for medium‑ and large‑scale joints. Where narrow braces fall short, these spread load over a wider area to help protect components from damage. The flat profile fits neatly along panel edges, at beam joints, and as reinforcement for frames. Supplied in a pack of 100, they offer an economical, practical supply solution for your projects.

Product Advantages

• 40 mm Wide Body: Much broader contact area than standard 16 mm braces; distributes load across multiple points and protects wood from splitting or tearing
• Four‑Hole Security: Enables two‑row screwing; minimises risk of rotation, slipping, or loosening — the joint stays firm for years
• Rigid Construction: 2 mm plate; will not bend, flex, or deform under normal and medium‑heavy use
• Zinc‑Plated Finish: Rust‑resistant indoors; no discolouration, maintains a clean, attractive appearance
• Optimal 80 mm Length: More compact than the No. 27 (100 mm) version; saves space where shorter connection spans are required
• Simple Installation: No special tools; secure with suitable screws in seconds
• Dual‑Purpose Design: Acts as both connector and reinforcement in one — no separate parts needed
• Convenient Bulk Pack: Easy stock management for large projects; low unit cost provides an economical solution

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the mounting surface is flat, clean, and structurally sound
• Mark the joint location; centre the brace so it bears evenly on both mating components
• Select suitable screws: use wood screws with 4–5 mm head diameter; match shank size to the 5 mm holes
• Tighten gradually in a cross pattern; do not fully tighten until all screws are seated
• Avoid over‑tightening — this may split the timber or distort the plate
• Add extra braces for heavier loads; use parallel rows instead of a single line
• Use stainless‑steel screws in damp environments such as kitchens and bathrooms
• Loosen screws gradually in a cross pattern during disassembly to avoid straining the timber

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this differ from No. 27?
No. 26 is 80 mm long; No. 27 is 100 mm. The shorter version provides a more compact, economical fit where less span is needed.

What weight can it support?
With four fixing points, load capacity is significantly higher than narrow‑format braces. Suitable for medium‑ and heavy‑duty use when mounted in sound base material.

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

Are other sizes available?
Yes — lengths include 60 mm, 100 mm, and 120 mm; widths also offered in 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, and 50 mm.

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