Cross braising connection solutions -Plus photo of disc

Macalloy has a range of Cross Bracing connections solutions, including ;
Cross -Couplers , Turnbuckles and Connection Discs
Cross- Couplers are used for bracing structures and range from M10-M120 with standard intersecting angles of 40 degrees and bespoke solutions up to 20 degrees. They provide a more elegant option to a connection disc when used in certain applications.
Turnbuckles, are also known as tensioners and are primarily used to adjust the length of the tension rods . They are used in applications where there is more than one bar to a tendon.

Connection Discs are available in sizes M10 – M76 but bespoke sizes are available on request.
A connection disc allows tension rods to lie in the same plane whilst forming a cross bracing. This negates the need to offset the tension rods.

Macalloy offer unrivalled customer service, dealing with our very specific requirements as a University! The products are very consistent in quality and can be relied on without doubt.

By Sophie Day of Imperial College London - 14 May 2019

Macalloy Ltd

As a relatively small domestic customer for decorative, structural-tensioning components, I was pleasantly surprised at the seamless level of service provided from enquiry through to delivery, on the two occasions that I’ve made purchases. The provision of test certificates at no extra cost was unexpected and helped hugely with Building Control.
