WALCO® V | The connector for prefab wall up to 16 kN*
The WALCO® V wall connector set consists of a “dovetail” shaped hot-dip galvanized bracket and a specially shaped counterpart screw. An optional lock can be installed to latch the connection against the slide-in direction. Prefabricated walls can be connected to each other within just a few minutes. Assembly is made simple through the spacious V-shaped bracket and only needs a 35 mm (1 ½ inch) distance to engage the screw with the bracket. WALCO® V is available in two sizes (60 and 80), and each size in four different kinds (KS, VK, EH, GH*).
System advantages:
- Universal – connections can be made from timber to timber, to steel and to concrete.
- For timber widths from 80 mm upwards
- Easy – no recess of bracket needed if the height of the planking is 13/15 mm (the counter part screw can be recessed on the other side).
- Effective – fast and accurate assembly on site – fully prefabricated walls are assembled without any screwing or nailing.
- Stable from the first wall corner on
- Saves labor – quick and easy assembly through spacious V-shaped bracket.
- Unique – screws are screwed directly in the component with or without interlayer
- Flexible – assembly to the last wall and even interior walls.
- Adjustable and esthetically pleasing – connectors are recessed and therefore not visible when assembled. Screws can be readjusted in perpendicular direction to compensate building tolerances e.g. for seals and gaskets.
- ETA certified (even for hardwood).
