About Delite Scaffolding Washer Plate With Wing Nut
Formwork Combi Plate (also commonly referred to as a Scaffolding Washer Plate with Wing Nut or Swivel Anchor Plate). It is a vital component used in concrete shuttering and formwork tie-rod systems to connect and hold opposing wall panels together during concrete pouring.
Primary Roles and Functions
Distributes Intense Load: Spreads the high clamping force from the tie rod evenly across the formwork panels to prevent localized crushing.
Prevents Wall Blowouts: Resists the immense lateral pressure exerted by wet, heavy concrete to keep formwork straight and stable.
Accommodates Angles: Features a swivel/ball-joint mechanism that allows it to seat securely even if the tie rod is misaligned or sloped.
Enhances Efficiency: Combines the washer plate and heavy-duty wing nut into a single unit for rapid manual assembly and disassembly on-site.
Robust Load DistributionWith weight ranging from 0.6 kg to 1.2 kg and a plate diameter of 100 mm to 150 mm, the washer plate is engineered to evenly distribute scaffold loads, reducing pressure on individual points and promoting workplace safety. Its robust construction ensures reliable support across diverse construction scenarios.
Versatile Compatibility and InstallationDesigned for manual installation, the washer plate's threaded central hole and wing nut enable quick and easy integration with Cuplock, H-Frame, and other scaffolding systems. Its adjustable features and tolerance up to 2 mm support flexible setup, catering to specific project needs.
Corrosion-Resistant and ReusableFinished with hot dip galvanization or zinc plating, the washer plate offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for reuse across multiple projects. The sturdy material selection and precise manufacturing processes result in extended product life and reduced maintenance costs.
FAQ's of Delite Scaffolding Washer Plate With Wing Nut:
Q: How is the Delite Scaffolding Washer Plate with Wing Nut installed in scaffolding systems?
