DESIGN & BUILD SYSTEM
FRAMECAD® Construction Connectors are designed for speed,
suitability and performance and are designed to deliver the
most advanced end-to-end steel frame building solution.
The range includes connectors for steel truss, wall and joist assembly required for construction. FRAMECAD®
connectors are designed with 4 main objectives - Design, Speed, Suitability and Performance.
DESIGN - Ease of design with correct information specified in FRAMECAD® Software to deliver robust and
reliable structures.
SPEED - All our connectors have been selected to optimise the speed and efficiency of the FRAMECAD®
building system. Using FRAMECAD® screws reduces labour costs by making it quicker and easier to fix screws
consistently, helping business reach optimum production rates, both in the factory and on-site.
SUITABILITY - With over Twenty Five years’ experience in CFS (Cold Formed Steel Construction) FRAMECAD®
has identified and developed a range of FRAMECAD® Certified Connectors that work specifically alongside our
FRAMECAD® cold formed steel construction.
It is essential to use the specified FRAMECAD® Fasteners as they form a critical part of the connector’s tested
performance.
PERFORMANCE - The design capacity of our connector range has been calculated in accordance with AS/NZ
4600:2005 and AISI S100:2007.
FRAMECAD® Fasteners have been tested according to the AS/NZS 4600:2005 and AISI S100:2007 in our
laboratories to ensure they are compatible with our FRAMECAD® Building Systems and meet relevant
international recognised manufacturing standards.
All our Connectors are manufactured to steel grade AS/NZS 1397 G350 and are produced by ISO 9001
certified manufacturing facilities and have been tested for shear and tensile strength. Additionally, FRAMECAD®
Connectors are coated in corrosion retardant that give high visibility for your quality assurance process, during
manufacturing and on-site.
FRAMECAD® Connectors are made from top quality Z275 galvanised material then further protected with
FRAMECAD® Long Life Green protection coating for further corrosion protection.
Beware of non-compliant Connectors. Brackets and connectors made from cheap or scrap metal
often will not comply.
The FRAMECAD® Connector range are fully designed and manufactured to have both the correct
strength and ductility to;
1. provide high strength connection of members
2. provide the appropriate flexibility for dynamic loads e.g. wind or earthquake.
FRAMECAD® materials are used to meet both these requirements and comply with the building
code.

FRAMECAD® Connectors
FRAMECAD Fasteners have a Drill Point capable of drilling into medium to heavy gauge steel. For successful connection the screw must be of sufficient length to ensure at least 3 threads are protruding through the fastened
material and the Drill Point length must be greater than the total thickness of metal being fastened into.
