Steelwork fixings are purpose-made malleable iron hook-bolt adapters that can securely grip the flange of most standard steel sections. Standard components can be assembled by the use of spanners, therefore there is no need to drill or weld on site keeping the cost of installation to a minimum. Primarily for secondary steelwork, the fixings enable beam to beam connections to be made quickly and easily on site.

The diversity of project applications that utilise Lindapter steelwork fixings is immense, a few of which are shown below.

Type AF High Friction Clamp
Type A - Recessed Fixing
Type B - Flat Top Fixing
Type CF - High Friction Clamp

For applications where high frictional loads are encountered and cast from SG iron, the AF high friction clamp is designed to be used with grade 8.8 or 10.9/HSFG bolts if required, and allows significantly increased torques to be applied.

With the use of the type AFW washer, the product can be adapted to suit two differing conditions. Firstly, using the washer as shown in the adjacent drawing, the AF's recessed head can be filled in to act in the same way as the Type B Lindapter fixing.

With the washer inverted, as shown in the adjacent drawing, larger head size strength friction grip bolts as per BS4395 Pt 2 can be captivated. The increased torques necessary to achieve the AF's elevated performance require the use of a high strength location plate. To increase the products frictional performance even further, Lindapter is able to manufacture a special high friction location plate. Please contact Lindapter for further details.

Type A and B steelwork fixings are designed to be used with a grade 8.8 bolt.

Both products feature a tail, the length of which must be chosen to suit the thickness of the flange being gripped. Packing pieces are available to meet different flange thicknesses for both of the above fixings.

Type A has a recessed top to hold the bolt head captive whilst the nut is tightened.

Type B has a flat top which allows the bolt head or nut to be rotated and is suitable for use with all bolts, studs, tie rods and J bolts.

The Type CF is a new addition to the Lindapter high friction family. Its unique patented shape is the only one of its type on the market.

The fixing's toothed nose and reaction legs combine to grip the flanges of the steelwork to hold the CF square in place. This allows a secure connection to all structural profiles without the need for drilling or welding on site, reducing man hours, safety issues, special tools and costs.

The Type CF offers a guaranteed load capacity in tension of up to 26.25kN, in friction up to 16kN and is cast from S.G iron and hot dip galvanised as standard.
