Description

OBB Fish Plates – Internal  (2no Required Per Joint) – Requires – 12no M16x50 bolts.

These are  used in pairs to join the Open Box Beams together

OBB Fish Plates are an essential component used in the construction and assembly of Open Box Barriers. These barriers are widely employed in various applications, including car parks, private roads, and industrial estates, to provide effective safety measures and prevent accidents. OBB Fish Plates play a crucial role in securely connecting and joining the individual sections of the barrier, ensuring its structural integrity and stability.

The design of OBB Fish Plates is specifically tailored to meet the requirements of Open Box Barriers. Each fish plate is manufactured from high-quality galvanized steel, which offers exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. Galvanization involves the application of a protective zinc coating to the steel surface, providing a barrier against moisture, oxidation, and other environmental factors. This galvanized finish not only enhances the longevity of the fish plates but also ensures they can withstand harsh weather conditions and exposure to corrosive elements.

To effectively connect the sections of an Open Box Barrier, two OBB Fish Plates are required per length of the barrier. These fish plates are strategically positioned at the ends of adjacent barrier sections, allowing them to be securely fastened together. The fish plates feature pre-drilled holes that align with corresponding holes in the barrier sections, facilitating the insertion of bolts for fastening. The fish plates are designed to accommodate M16x50 grade 8.8 bolts, which are known for their high tensile strength and reliable performance.

During the installation process, the OBB Fish Plates are firmly secured to the barrier sections using the M16x50 grade 8.8 bolts. These bolts are inserted through the pre-drilled holes in the fish plates and barrier sections, and then tightened using appropriate tools, such as wrenches or impact drivers. The combination of the fish plates and bolts ensures a robust and secure connection, capable of withstanding considerable forces and vibrations.

The primary purpose of OBB Fish Plates is to enhance the overall stability and rigidity of Open Box Barriers. By securely joining the individual sections, the fish plates eliminate any potential gaps or weak points in the barrier’s structure. This contributes to the barrier’s ability to effectively contain vehicles, minimize the risk of accidents, and protect motorists and pedestrians. Additionally, the use of galvanized steel for the fish plates provides long-term protection against corrosion, further extending the lifespan of the barrier system.

In conclusion, OBB Fish Plates are essential components for the construction and assembly of Open Box Barriers. Their galvanized steel construction and design ensure durability, resistance to corrosion, and the ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. With two fish plates required per length of the barrier, fixed using M16x50 grade 8.8 bolts, the OBB Fish Plates provide a secure and reliable connection, enhancing the overall stability and integrity of the barrier system.

Please note that these fish plates are sold seperately and 2no are required per length of Open Box Beam.
