Lamello 145418 – Tenso P-10 Self-Clamping Glueing Connectors with Pre-Load Clip (80 Pairs)

Description

Lamello 145418 Tenso P-10 Self-Clamping Connectors, 80 Pairs

The Lamello 145418 is a box of 80 pairs of Tenso P-10 self-clamping connectors with preload clips. Tenso P-10 is a glueing aid for thin materials: it pulls a glued joint tight inside a P-System groove, so you can assemble panels without external clamps or presses.

Features and Specifications

• Connector: Tenso P-10 self-clamping glueing connector
• Pack: 80 pairs with preload clips
• System: Lamello P-System groove
• Material: butt joints from 12 mm, mitres from 15 mm
• Angles: 22.5 to 180 degrees
• Joint: invisible, used with glue

How It Works

The connector sits in a P-System groove. The groove is cut with a Lamello Zeta P2 biscuit joiner (corded or cordless) fitted with a P-System cutter, or on a CNC machine. Apply glue, press the parts together and the Tenso pulls the joint tight on its own, with no clamps, presses or tape. Tenso is always used with glue, and the joint is invisible from outside. The preload clip is inserted shortly before assembly. It preloads the connector spring so less force is needed to close the joint, and it increases lateral tolerance, which makes it easier to assemble larger parts with several connectors in a row.

Where It Fits

Lamello rates the Tenso P-10 for butt joints from 12 mm (about 1/2 inch) material thickness and mitres from 15 mm (about 5/8 inch), across angles from 22.5 to 180 degrees. It suits thin fronts, small shelves, door frames, cladding, false edges and other thin-panel work.

Cabinet makers, furniture builders and millwork and shop fitting shops use the Lamello 145418 to save clamping time and keep connections hidden.

Assembly Tips

Use sharp cutters so the grooves are clean and to size. Dry-fit the parts before glue goes on, and mark which groove pairs with which. Insert the preload clips just before assembly, apply glue to the joint faces, then bring the parts together in one smooth push. Wipe off squeeze-out while it is still wet. Keep connectors in their box in a dry place until they are needed.
