4' X 4.5MM Shuttering Clamp

Material: galvanised steel. Thickness: 4.5 mm. Length: 4 ft. Designed to fit onto 4 ft shuttering boards. Corrosion-resistant for use in wet environments, offering durable, reliable support.

It is designed to join shuttering boards in straight, angled, and curved configurations, giving flexibility for different formwork layouts.

1) Align the shuttering boards to the desired configuration. 2) Position the clamp across the joint so it bridges the boards securely. 3) Tighten or secure the clamp using the designated fastening method for your setup. 4) Check that the boards are firmly connected and that no gaps exist at the joint before proceeding.

Common uses include formwork assembly for concrete projects, temporary fencing, and other applications where sturdy, adjustable joining of 4 ft shuttering boards is required, especially in damp or wet environments.

The 4ft x 4.5mm variant offers a thicker 4.5 mm connection for added strength and durability compared to the 4 mm option. If you’re needing greater joint rigidity, the 4.5 mm clamp may be preferable. For an alternative, see the 4ft x 4mm option: https://fepy.com/product/shuttering-clamp-4ft-4mm

Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection) and inspect clamps for damage or corrosion before use. Ensure boards are clean and free of defects, follow proper handling procedures, and avoid overloading joints beyond what the clamp is designed to secure.

Keep the clamp clean and dry when not in use, store in a dry environment to minimize corrosion, and regularly inspect for signs of wear or damage. Replacing any compromised clamps will help maintain joint integrity on future projects.

Yes, given its galvanised steel construction and 4.5 mm thickness, it offers durable performance for repeated use in wet environments, providing reliable joins for multiple projects and reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Evaluate shuttering board size (4 ft), the environment (wet or corrosive conditions), the required joint strength (thickness and material). If you need stronger joints in damp settings, the 4.5 mm option is a strong match; for lighter needs, the 4 mm variant could suffice.
