What are the main benefits of Knapp Fast Connectors?
The key features and benefits of a Knapp Fast Connector are:
- Self-tightening - With the Knapp Fast Connector, there’s no need to clamp the workpiece during assembly; it snaps straight in and is used where design or space conditions don’t allow the usual sliding connection.
- Non-visible - The non-visible, concealed nature of the Knapp Fast Connector appeals to both the architect and the customer.
- Fast assembly - The components easily and quickly snap in and join together in just a second. The fast assembly helps to reduce the cost of labour and equipment.
- Glueing aid - Due to working so well with fast-acting glue – because of its self-tightening feature– the Knapp Fast Connector is a popular choice as a glueing aid.
How do I install a Knapp Fast Connector?
Place the connector tip at one end of the slot at an angle that’s approximately equal to the radius of the cut. Press in the direction of the groove and ensure the connector halves are inserted mirrored to one another. Next, use a hammer to knock in the Fast Connector and slide along the radius of the slot.
