METAL – Biscuit Connector

The METAL biscuit is a #20 self-tightening, non-visible zinc die-casting slide-in connector with integrated locking tabs and is suitable for load-bearing joints for panels and boards. The connector halves are inserted and screwed into the biscuit slot with 3×13 mm and 3×25 mm pan-head screws (PH screws). Simply slide the connector halves into each other to carry out the assembly. If needed, it can be reinforced by adding drops of KNAPP®-Adhesive PU+ (Z011/1) when installing the connector halves. The METAL biscuit connector is a very strong and immediately load-bearing, putting NO halt on the manufacturing process. If used for knock-down cabinets or furniture. The workpiece can be installed very fast on-site, thus allows the parts to be transported flat-packed. Optionally, the connector can be latched via locking tabs in one or both directions.

Features and Benefits:

Fast assembly
- Components simply slide and join together in seconds.
- Reduces labor and equipment cost
Non-visible connector
- Appeals to the architect and customer
Self-tightening
- no need to clamp the workpiece during assembly
- prevents forming of gaps in the joint over time
Solid
- Very strong connector and especially popular to use for furniture and cabinets made of hardwood.

Tips:

Works great for knock-down furniture
Especially useful for miter joints
Joint can be latched via the locking tabs on the connector
