What is the clip angle?
The angle clip is a hardware device used to connect two or more structural components in a building, bridge or other object. This device is made of steel plates that are bent at 90 degrees to form L -shaped. The terms "clip angle" and "clip angle" are often used to indicate this type of hardware.
Depending on the application, builders can choose a clip angle made of cold or galvanized steel. Cold rolled clips can be used in most internal applications, but if used outside, they are subject to rust. Galvanized angle clips have a zinc coating that increases rust and corrosion resistance. This makes the galvanized units more resistant for outdoor use or any object that can be exposed to corrosive chemicals.
The clip angle also has pre -drilled holes for accommodation of screws or screws. These holes can be spread on each "wing" clip so that they can be installed on both sides of the objectThe clips. Spot holes also prevent a weak spot, especially in wood. By delivering the holes, the clip angle can be used in close proximity to another unit with a minimum risk that the wood will be distributed.
This type of connector can be used to connect all two objects at an angle of 90 degrees together. They are often used to support roof or ceiling beams, where they are connected to building columns or walls. They are also used to connect the same walls or columns to floor framing. Smaller clips can also be used to support shelves in cabinets or shelves suspended on the wall of the house. Some windows and doors are attached to the surrounding wall structure using an angle form.
The installation device must carefully select the size of the angle clips to ensure that the load support is ensured. Both the length of the clip and the width of each wing can affect its capabilities and load capacity. It is also important to choose a clip, which is fat to support load without breaking or bending. The fasteners should be adapted to the type of clip and must be properly dimensioned to connect and secure it into the structure.
When two objects meet at an angle other than 90 degrees, there may be special angle clips instead of standard L -shaped models. The clip angle should be adapted to the angle between objects. Within the wood, angle clips of all shapes and sizes are often exposed to create a natural, robust look.
