No: 3 Flat Bracket 2x16x90 mm (100 Pieces)

No. 3 Flat Brace – 2 × 16 × 90 mm, Box of 100

No. 3 Flat Braces are heavy‑duty extended joining plates designed to span wide gaps and reinforce large frames and structural joints in furniture manufacturing, timber construction, and assembly work. With a 2 mm thickness, 16 mm width, and full 90 mm length, they spread load over a larger area for exceptional rigidity at the joint. The flat low‑profile design fits neatly along panel edges, inside long frame sections, and wherever a straight, unobtrusive reinforcement is needed. Supplied in a pack of 100, they offer economical stock for large‑scale projects and high‑volume workshops.

Applications

• Large furniture frames and panel assemblies requiring wide connection spans
• Mid‑span reinforcement for long beams, table tops, and cabinet bodies
• Butt joints for full‑size plywood, particleboard, and MDF panels
• Strengthening window, door, and joinery frames
• Heavy‑duty shelving and storage units
• Structural connections in timber and prefabricated buildings
• Repairing broken or weakened joints during renovation and restoration
• Custom and heavy‑duty furniture production

Product Advantages

• 90 mm Extended Length: Longer reach than No. 1 and No. 2 models; distributes load over a broader surface and fully resists flexing or shifting under stress
• Flat Profile: Installs easily in narrow runs, along edges, and inside frame extensions where angle brackets cannot fit
• Heavy‑Gauge Construction: 2 mm steel plate; remains rigid even under substantial loads and stays secure for years
• Zinc‑Plated Finish: Rust‑resistant indoors; no tarnishing, maintains a clean, professional appearance
• Dual‑Hole Anti‑Slip Design: Far more stable than single‑hole fixings; the joint stays aligned and vibration‑free
• Industry‑Standard Compatibility: Works directly with common screw sizes and furniture hardware
• Tool‑Free Installation: Fasten in seconds with appropriate screws — no special equipment needed
• Bulk Pack Value: Convenient stock supply for large contracts; low unit cost delivers excellent economy

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 components being joined
• Select suitable screws: wood screws with 3–4 mm head diameter for timber; match shank to the 4–5 mm holes
• Finalise alignment before fully tightening; do not over‑tighten — wood may split or the plate may bend
• Add extra braces for heavy loads; use parallel rows rather than a single line
• Space multiple braces equally to distribute weight across the joint
• Use stainless‑steel screws in damp environments such as kitchens and bathrooms
• Loosen screws gradually in a cross pattern during disassembly to avoid damaging the timber

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this differ from No. 1 and No. 2?
No. 1 = 50 mm long; No. 2 = 70 mm; No. 3 = 90 mm. Longer length means wider load spread and greater rigidity — choose No. 3 for large, heavy structures.

What weight can it support?
Capacity depends on screw size, quantity, and base material. The longer plate distributes force over a larger area, making it more robust than shorter versions under identical conditions.

Will it rust?
Zinc plating provides reliable indoor protection. For exterior or persistently damp locations, select the stainless‑steel version.

Are other sizes available?
Yes — lengths include 50 mm, 70 mm, 100 mm, and 120 mm; widths also offered in 12 mm, 20 mm, and 25 mm.

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