framework brackets
All framework brackets are manufactured to BS 6946 from steel which
complies with BS EN 10025 Grade S275JRC and are supplied singly.
Channel nuts and setscrews are not supplied with brackets, therefore
must be ordered separately
■ Dimensions and weights
Made from 5 or 6 mm thick steel unless otherwise stated
Brackets are 40 mm wide and have 14 mm diameter holes to accept
M12 (or smaller) setscrews
All bend radii are 5 mm unless otherwise stated
Weights
All weights given are in kilograms (kg) based on nominal thickness and
are for hot dip galvanised finish. For weights in stainless steel finish
contact us on +44 (0) 845 605 4333
Loads
All loads are for hot dip galvanised brackets fixed with M12 setscrews
and M12 zinc plated channel nuts. Loads for stainless steel brackets
are available on request - contact us on +44 (0) 845 605 4333
Minimum Yield Stress of material is 275 N/mm
2
Only M10 or M12 channel nuts and bolts should be used for the
attachment of load-bearing brackets
In most cases the mode of failure will be slippage of the bracket along
the channel. However there are few channel/bracket combinations
where the maximum load is dependant upon the strength of the
bracket itself
■ Finishes and standards
The standard finish for all framework brackets and beam clamps is hot
dip galvanised steel to BS EN ISO 1461
Stainless steel to
BS EN 10088 : Grade 1.4404 (equivalent to S316L31)
is also available as an alternative where applicable. To order stainless
steel finish add S to the end of the standard catalogue number
For example : SB500S

Standard fasteners for Swiftrack are high tensile hexagon head
setscrews to BS 3692-8.8, these being zinc plated to BS 3382 : Part 2
The use of too long a fastener will prevent proper tightening because
the bolt end will foul the bottom of the channel before the head tightens
down on the fitting
When fastening brackets other than Swiftrack, longer bolts may be
required if the bracket thickness is greater than 8 mm
For channel nuts, see p. 101
