Lamello 145028 E20-H Plastic Biscuit Connectors – Box of 1200

Description

Lamello 145028 E20-H Self-Clamping Connectors

The Lamello 145028 is a box of 1,200 Lamello E20-H self-clamping connectors, plastic connectors made for edge joints. They are tapped into a standard 4 mm Lamello groove, and their inclined ribs pull the two parts together as they go in, so the joint often needs no clamps.

Features and Specifications

• Type: E20-H, for edge connections
• Size: 56 x 11.5 x 4 mm (about 2-3/16 x 7/16 inch)
• Groove: 4 mm, cut with any Lamello biscuit joiner
• Minimum workpiece width: 36 mm (about 1-7/16 inch)
• Minimum thickness: 8 mm for edge cuts, 25 mm for a mitre (angle bisector)
• Pack: 1,200 pieces per box

How It Works

Lamello recommends the E20-H for edge joints such as kitchen plinths, base units and carcass parts, with the groove cut into the edges or mitres. Cut the groove into both parts at the same setting, apply glue, then tap the connector in with a few hammer blows. The ribs draw the joint tight as the connector seats, and Lamello notes the glue does not need to dry before you carry on working. That makes it a useful gluing aid in the shop and on site.

Who Uses It

Cabinet makers, kitchen installers, shopfitters and frame makers use E20 connectors where clamps are awkward or slow, such as long plinths, panel extensions and assemblies on site. The 1,200 box suits shops that use E20-H regularly.

Working Tips

Cut a test joint in scrap to confirm the groove setting. Check that the parts meet the minimum width and thickness before you start. Many installers keep a box of E20-L and a box of E20-H together, so the right connector is on hand for surface or edge joints. Store the Lamello 145028 dry, in its box.
