Product catalog summary
Overview of the Fast Fit System
The Fast Fit system is an engineered clamping solution designed to connect two steel sections without the need for on-site drilling or welding. It includes a frame that wraps around the steel sections, allowing for easy alignment and secure clamping. This system is designed to provide a reliable connection without requiring the removal of protective coatings or the need for skilled labor.

Key Features and Benefits
  • No Drilling or Welding: Eliminates the need for on-site power, reducing installation time and avoiding damage to corrosion protection.
  • No Hot Work Permits: Reduces installation costs and administrative time, making it safe for hazardous conditions.
  • Installation by Semi-Skilled Labor: Reduces labor and equipment costs, allowing for easy realignment of steel members.
  • Third-Party Tested: Ensures performance in tensile and frictional applications, providing confidence in the connection.
  • Electro Galvanised Finish: Offers standard corrosion protection, reducing installation time and ensuring a quality finish.

Technical Specifications
  • Product Code BCFF16: Uses M16 bolts with a grade of 8.8, suitable for flange thicknesses of 3 to 27 mm and widths of 65 to 190 mm.
  • Factor of Safety: The system provides a 5 to 1 factor of safety for loading data.
  • Achievable Angles: Allows for connections at varying angles depending on the flange width of the top and bottom sections.

Installation Instructions
  1. Install the framework of plates around the sections to be connected.
  2. Rotate the open side of the plate to complete the frame.
  3. Insert clamps through each corner and ensure proper positioning.
  4. Tighten bolts with a torque wrench to the recommended torque.
  5. Check that clamps are installed correctly.

Comparison with Traditional Methods
  • Fast Fit System: Approximately 0.5 hours for installation, significantly reducing time compared to welding (4.5 hours) and drilling/bolting (3.5 hours).
  • Welding: Requires extensive preparation, including hot work permits and corrosion protection removal.
  • Drilling and Bolting: Involves detailed engineering and alignment work, with significant time spent on drilling and positioning.

The model below is designed to demonstrate the time that can be saved by using a Fast Fit system compared to either a standard welded or drilled and bolted connection. The majority of time and cost is saved by the reduction in preparation and labour time. This model does not include the potential for remedy work that may need to be carried out should the connection not be in the correct place. With the Fast Fit system this is quick and easy to do where as with a welded or drilled and bolted connection it is more difficult and time consuming.
