Best Practices for Formwork Pin Selection
Selecting the correct formwork pins is critical for ensuring structural integrity and efficient construction workflow.
Pin Types and Their Applications
Solid Stub Pins (50mm/54mm) are the standard choice for connecting wall panels. The 50mm variant works for standard panel joints, while the 54mm provides additional depth for thicker configurations.
Hollow Pins (50mm) offer a lightweight alternative while maintaining structural integrity. At 50gm versus 60gm for solid pins, they reduce overall weight when hundreds of pins are used on a single floor.
Long Pins (135mm/195mm) are designed for extended connections where standard stub pins cannot reach. The 135mm variant suits most extended joints, while the 195mm is used for deep panel connections.
Selection Criteria
1. Panel thickness: Match pin length to your panel configuration 2. Load requirements: Higher loads may require solid over hollow pins 3. Reusability needs: All Eversure pins are designed for multiple site uses 4. Material compatibility: Ensure galvanized finish matches your environment
