Galvanized mounting punch tape refers to high-strength fasteners. It is used to connect or pull together individual elements in a single system. It can be called universal, because with the help of a perforated tape you can attach parts to any surface: concrete, metal, wood, stone, brick. It is often used in hard-to-reach places and provides reliable connection of structural elements.
Description and main characteristics
Galvanized mounting punched tape is a perforated strip coated with a protective layer and having holes for bolts, screws or screws in its design. Its production is low-carbon steel, which increases the operational life of up to ten years.
The zinc layer is applied to steel under hot pressure. The product turns out perfectly smooth without gaps and sag. The coating thickness is from eight to ten microns. It protects the tape from the negative effects of precipitation and moisture and protects the product from rust and corrosion. Punched tape is available in different widths and thicknesses for various purposes.
This modern material is used to strengthen the elements of building structures. Thanks to the tape increases the rigidity and reliability of the connection. With its help, you can attach additional parts to the main structure.
Perforation is very convenient for installation, fasteners (screws, bolts) are screwed into the finished holes. The dimensions of the holes are selected in accordance with the design of the fastened elements.
The main features are the reliability of fastening of construction sites where punched tape is used. Low cost and ease of use have made it popular in construction work.
Varieties of tape
There are three types of punched tape:
- thin (suitable for connecting only lightweight parts);
- wavy (used when installing the ventilation and air conditioning system);
- reinforced (used to connect elements with sufficient weight).
The main function of the punched tape is easy to determine by the shape of the holes and how far they are from each other.
Application area
Most often, galvanized mounting punched tape is used in the installation of pipelines, equipment of cable lines, heating and ventilation systems, air ducts. It is used in the manufacture of underfloor heating by connecting a heating cable and a concrete surface.
Another application of galvanized mounting punch tape:
- Strengthening of supporting structures.
- Creation of fixing clamps and suspensions.
- Fastening wires and cable during electrical work.
- Strengthening the corners of drywall constructions and window openings.
- Reinforcement of masonry.
- Strengthening roof trusses during the construction of wooden houses.
- Fixation of wooden containers.
- Bonding sheets of sheet material.
The price of a galvanized assembly punched tape varies from 140 to 300 rubles per roll and depends on its variety and purpose.
