Type CF
High Friction Steel Fastener
for Use with Structural Steel
Channels and Angles

The Type CF High Friction Clamp from Lindapter is the strongest angle to angle connection on the market. Its toothed nose and reaction legs combine to grip the flanges of steelwork to hold the CF square which allows secure connection of H section and C section steelwork without the necessity for drilling or welding on site, reducing man hours, safety issues, special tools and most of all cost.

The CF offers guaranteed load capacity in tension of up to 5,900 lbs, and 3,600 lbs in friction (3/4" Bolt, Type CF/AF Combination) and is cast from S.G. Iron and Hot Dip Galvanised as standard.

Material: SG Iron to BS EN 1563:1997

Finish: Hot Dip Spun Galvanized to BS EN ISO 1461:1999

Approval: LR

1. For tensile load, the limiting factor is the capacity of the grade A325 bolt.
2. For friction loading, the limiting factor is the movement of the grade A325 bolt.
3. The type CF can be used independently with grade A325 bolts or studs at either of the torque figures in the tables. However, Tensile and Friction load will be reduced when useing the lower torque.

Notes:

1) In tensile loading the limiting factor is the capacity of the grade A325 bolt
2) In friction loading the limiting factor is movement of the grade A325 bolt
3) The Type CF can be used independently with grade A325 bolts or studs at either of the torque figures
in the table above. However, Tensile and Friction performance will be reduced when using the lower
torque.


Applications

The hook over design of the Lindapter Type C1 is ideal for connecting structural steel C-channel or angle to a beam or channel.
