No: 29 Metal Flat Bracket 2x40x200 mm (100 Pieces)

No. 29 Metal Flat Brace – 2 × 40 × 200 mm, Box of 100

No. 29 Metal Flat Braces are durable, wide‑format connecting plates with an extra‑long body designed to join widely separated points. With a 2 mm thickness, 40 mm width, and 200 mm length, they deliver exceptional grip in long‑span joints; a reliable solution for beam extensions, large frame systems, and broad furniture assemblies. The flat profile serves both connection and reinforcement purposes. Supplied in boxes of 100, they provide economical stock management for large projects and mass‑production.

Applications

• Long‑span timber beam and load‑bearing system connections
• Widely spaced joints for large tables, workbenches, and storage units
• Wide‑opening connections in plywood, solid timber, and thick panels
• Reinforcement for long‑span door, window, and joinery systems
• Primary connection points for interior partition walls and support systems
• Repair of weakened long‑span joints during renovation
• Custom wide‑format furniture and workbench manufacture
• Mass housing and commercial fit‑out projects

Product Advantages

• 200 mm Extra‑Long Body: Far longer than standard braces; securely connects even the most distant points, distributes load fully toward the ends, and eliminates stress build‑up at the joint centre
• 40 mm Wide Format: Unlike narrower models, enables four‑point fixing; minimises rotation, slip, and loosening over time while offering a broad contact area
• Four‑Point Security: Dual‑row fixing; the connection stays firm for the service life with no wobble or play
• Robust 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, professional appearance
• Simple Installation: No special tools required; secure with correctly sized screws in seconds
• Space‑Efficient Width: Narrower than broader plates; the ideal balance where space is tight but a long connection span is needed
• 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 fully sound; uneven seating will impair load distribution
• 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; choose adequate screw length to match the long body
• Tighten progressively in a crossing pattern; do not fully tighten until all screws are seated
• Avoid over‑tightening — threads may strip 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 long models?
No. 15 is 210 mm long and 80 mm wide; No. 29 is nearly the same length at 200 mm but 40 mm wide. Preferred where width is constrained but length is essential.

What weight can it support?
Four‑point fixing gives higher capacity than narrow plates of the same thickness. The long body distributes load effectively; thicker, wider models are recommended for sustained heavy loading.

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 160 mm; widths also available in 16 mm, 20 mm, 60 mm, and 80 mm.

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