Fast Fit Type BCFF16

The Fast Fit is an off the shelf engineered clamping solution to connect two steel sections together without the need for onsite drilling or welding.  All you need to secure two sections together comes in one box.  The system comprises a frame which wraps around the edges of the sections and slides into place to provide a position for the clamps to be secured.

The system allows for varying angles that can be easily achieved by sliding the beams relative to each other.

The Fast Fit system delivers a guaranteed connection every time without the need  for on-site testing or relying on the skills of the installer.  No removal of the protective coatings on the existing steel or holes is required to make a connection.  All that is required to complete a connections are simple hand tools and semi-skilled labor.

Features, Advantages and Benefits of the Fast Fit

Features	Advantages	Benefits
No drilling or welding to existing structure	No on-site power required	Reduced installation time and ot need to relocate cables, hoses etc.
Clamps directly to the existing structure	No damage to corrosion protection and no weakening of the steel	Flexibility and reduced on-site installation time
No heat or sparks generated	No hot work permit is necessary	Reduction in installation cost and administration time
No additional safety considerations	Safe for use in hazardous conditions	Peace of mind that the connection can be made without any hazards created
Installation by semi-skilled labor	No need for specialist skills or equipment	Reduction in per hour labor costs
Easy re-alignment of steel members	Eliminates remedial work due to steel miss alignment	Reduction in labor costs and provides on site flexibility
Tested at a third party test facility	Third party tested for use in tensile and frictional applications	Confidence that the connection will perform as stated in the literature
Electro Galvanized Finish	Corrosion protection is provided as standard meaning no post touch up or finish	Reduction in installation time and confidence in the finish
Suits a wide range of steel sections	A one stop shop for most connections	Reduced sourcing costs for users
Guaranteed loading and factor of safety	No on-site testing required for reliance on the skill of the installer	Reduction in installation time and peace of mind that every connection will perform as stated
Flush steel to steel connection	No location plate or spacers required	Saves time on re-design due to height level changes
