Spreader Plate
The standard base plate for the MetalPad EX has a 100mm diameter, which is sufficient for applications on hard sub-surfaces like concrete. However, when mounting pedestals directly onto softer surfaces such as insulation or waterproof membranes, an additional Spreader Plate can be used.
By adding the Spreader Plate beneath the MetalPad EX pedestal, the weight tolerance is significantly increased. The pedestal slides into the slots on the top side of the spreader plate and locks into place. The spreader plate itself has a 185mm diameter and has a smooth underside to effectively diffuse and distribute the weight.
Connectors
Connecting headpieces or aluminium rails is simple and is done by either clipping on, securing with a screw or secured with one of M8 wingnut & bolt kits.
