No: 28 Flat Metal Corner Bracket 2x40x160 mm (100 Pieces)

No. 28 Flat Brace – 2 × 40 × 160 mm, Box of 100

No. 28 Flat Braces are special connecting plates designed for furniture, timber construction, and assembly work requiring long‑span, wide‑format joints. With a 2 mm thickness, 40 mm width, and 160 mm length, they spread load over a generous area and completely eliminate wobble or loosening at the connection. The flat profile suits beam extensions, large frame joints, and widely spaced panel connections. Supplied in boxes of 100, they offer economical stock management for large‑scale projects and mass‑production.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Long‑span furniture carcass and frame assemblies
• Distant connection points for large tables, workbenches, and storage units
• Broad‑surface joints in plywood, particleboard, and thick panels
• Reinforcement of window, door, and large joinery frames
• Interior partition walls and support systems
• Repair of weakened long‑span joints during renovation
• Custom‑built and heavy‑duty furniture manufacture
• Mass‑production and large‑scale projects

Product Advantages

• 160 mm Long Body: Longer than standard braces; connects widely separated points, distributes load evenly, and prevents stress build‑up at the joint centre
• 40 mm Wide Format: Unlike narrower models, enables four‑point fixing; minimises rotation, slip, and loosening while providing a broad grip area
• 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
• Simple Installation: No special tools required; secure with correctly sized screws in seconds
• Dual‑Function Design: Acts as both connector and reinforcement in a single piece — no separate components needed
• Space‑Efficient Width: Narrower than 80 mm plates; offers the ideal balance where space is limited but a long connection span is required
• Convenient Bulk Pack: Easy stock holding for large 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 plate so it bears evenly across both mating members
• Select suitable fasteners: use wood screws with 5 mm head diameter; match screw size to the hole diameter
• Tighten progressively in a crossing pattern; do not fully tighten until all screws are seated
• Avoid over‑tightening — material may split or the plate may distort
• Use additional plates for heavier loads; install symmetric parallel pairs rather than a single line
• 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 wide‑format models?
No. 25 is 60 mm long, No. 26 is 80 mm, No. 27 is 100 mm; No. 28 at 160 mm is the longest. Preferred where connection distances are greater; its 40 mm width means it still fits comfortably in confined spaces.

What weight can it support?
Four‑point fixing gives higher capacity than narrow plates of the same thickness. Reliable in medium‑ and heavy‑duty applications 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 60 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm, and 120 mm; widths also available in 16 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, and 60 mm.

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