No: 30 Metal Flat Angle Bracket 2x40x240 mm (100 Pieces)

No. 30 Flat Brace – 2 × 40 × 240 mm, Box of 100

No. 30 Flat Braces are among the longest available connecting plates — durable, wide‑format plates designed to securely join even the most widely separated points. With a 2 mm thickness, 40 mm width, and 240 mm length, they provide exceptional holding power in extra‑long‑span joints; the first choice for large beam extensions, broad frame systems, and long‑distance panel connections. The flat design serves as both primary connector and reinforcement. Supplied in boxes of 100, they offer practical, cost‑effective stock for large‑scale projects and mass‑production.

Applications

• Extra‑long‑span timber beam and load‑bearing system connections
• Farthest‑point joints for wide workbenches, tables, and storage units
• Longest‑distance connections in plywood, solid timber, and thick panels
• Reinforcement for large‑framed doors, windows, and joinery systems
• Primary connection points for timber partition walls and support systems
• Repair of damaged or weakened extra‑long joints during renovation
• Custom wide furniture and workbench manufacturing
• Large‑scale residential and commercial fit‑out projects

Product Advantages

• 240 mm Maximum Length: Noticeably longer than standard braces; connects the most distant points, fully distributes load to both ends, and completely eliminates stress concentration at the joint centre
• 40 mm Wide Format: Unlike narrower models, enables four‑point fixing; rotation, slip, and loosening over time are minimised while maintaining an ample contact area
• Four‑Point Security: Dual‑row fixing; the connection stays rigid for its entire service life with no play or wobble
• Sound Construction: 2 mm thickness; will not bend, warp, or permanently deform under normal and medium‑weight loads
• Zinc‑Plated Finish: Long‑term rust resistance indoors; no discolouration, maintains a clean, professional appearance
• Simple Installation: No special tools required; fasten with suitable screws in seconds
• Space‑Saving Width: Narrower than broader plates; the ideal balance where width is limited but an exceptionally long connection span is required
• Convenient Bulk Pack: Sufficient quantity for major projects; low unit cost delivers an economical solution

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the mounting surface is flat, clean, and fully sound; uneven seating will disrupt load distribution
• Mark the joint location; centre the plate so it bears evenly across both mating members
• Select suitable fasteners: use wood screws with 5 mm head diameter; choose screws of adequate length and gauge to match the long body
• Tighten progressively in a crossing pattern; do not fully tighten until all screws are properly seated
• Avoid over‑tightening — threads may strip or the plate may bend
• Add extra plates for heavier loads; install symmetric parallel pairs rather than 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 base material

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this differ from other long models?
No. 29 is 200 mm long, No. 15 is 210 mm; No. 30 is the longest at 240 mm. It is the preferred choice for applications requiring the greatest connection span.

What weight can it support?
Four‑point fixing gives higher capacity than narrow plates of the same thickness. The long body distributes load excellently; for sustained heavy loads, 2.5 mm or 3 mm thicker, wider‑format models are recommended.

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

Are other sizes available?
Yes — options vary in thickness, width, and length. Select dimensions suited to your application.

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