Type BF1 BeamClamp Shims, Packing Pieces

BeamClamp® BF1 Packing Pieces for standard clamps are designed to provide support to the underside of beam clamps to ensure they clamp on to the steel structures at the correct angle. We offer a series of short packers designed for the BA, BB, BT and BW clamps and a long series for the BK1 clamps that reach further back on to the supporting steel.

Packing Pieces Are Used With BeamClamp to Ensure a Correct Connection.
