BZP Male Steel Back Plate M10

For a short, tidy fixing, the BZP male steel back plate M10 has an M10 male thread sticking out of the plate. A clamp with a female M10 boss screws directly onto it.

Why choose the BZP male steel back plate M10

When pipe needs to sit close to a wall, there is no point messing about with rod and couplers. Fix this plate, wind the clamp onto the thread and the support is done. It suits rubber lined clips and plain steel clamps on heating, water and drainage pipe. The bright zinc plating protects the steel in normal indoor conditions.

• BZP steel plate
• Male M10 thread
• For clamps with a female M10 boss
• Screw fixing to walls, soffits and joists

Check the clamp first, because some have a female boss and some are made for rod. If your clamp takes rod, you may need the female plate instead. Mark all fixing points on a straight line before drilling, so the pipe runs true. Tighten the clamp down onto the plate by hand, then nip it with a spanner if needed, but do not strip the thread. For outside or very damp spots, a galvanised option will last longer than BZP. The female version is in the same steel clamps category.

Common Questions

When would I use a male back plate instead of rod?

Use it when the pipe runs close to the wall or ceiling and you do not need a drop. The clamp screws straight onto the M10 stud, which gives a short, rigid support.

Will it fit any pipe clamp?

It suits clamps that have an M10 female boss. Many clips are made with M8 or M10 bosses, so check the clip before you fit the plate, or use a reducing adaptor if the threads differ.

What screws do I use to fix it?

Use screws and plugs to suit what you are fixing into: wood screws for timber, plugs for brick or block. For heavy pipe on a ceiling, go for a proper anchor rather than a light plug.
