Usage
The Hettich VB 21 white eccentric connecting fitting is designed for assembling furniture frames by securely joining shelves and side panels, typically in cabinets or shelving units using 19–20 mm thick panels.
Advantages
- Creates strong, stable connections between shelves and side panels for high load capacity
- Suits panel thicknesses of 19 mm to ensure precise fitment
- Compatible with System 32 drilling patterns for efficient assembly processes
- Shelf can be inserted from above, simplifying installation in confined spaces
- Eccentric mechanism can be accessed from the top of the bottom panel when a through-hole is used; requires careful attention during installation to avoid misalignment[2][5]
Specifications
- Design: Eccentric cam fitting made of durable plastic with a white finish[2]
- Standards: Suitable for use in indoor environments and meets industry norms for furniture connections[7]
- Performance: For panels with a thickness of approximately 19 mm; requires two drilled holes—30 mm and 10 mm diameter—set at a distance of 32 mm apart[2][5]
- Differentiating feature: Enables both positive fitting (form-closed) and friction-locked (force-closed) joints, supporting versatile furniture designs[5][7]
How it works
To use the VB 21 connecting fitting, press it into double holes drilled into each panel. Once inserted, an eccentric cam locks or releases the connection when turned. Installation supports quick shelf assembly while allowing later disassembly or adjustment.[2][5]
