When it comes to securing timber pile connections for decking and house piles, the JVice 12 kN Pile to Bearer Connection Kit is a game-changer, offering a faster, more efficient alternative to traditional pile kits.
Traditionally, pile-to-bearer connections require 10 brackets and nearly 100 nails – a time-consuming and labour-intensive process. The JVice system simplifies this by reducing the number of brackets to just four and cutting down fasteners to 32 screws.
This innovation significantly cuts installation time from 20 minutes to just two to three minutes, making it up to five times faster than conventional kits. As the Glass Vice team says: “It’s nothing fancy, just a lot faster”.
Designed for Efficiency
Frustrated with the high cost and complexity of mechanical fastening kits, the team at Glass Vice developed the JVice system to provide a cost-effective and time-saving alternative.
Made from durable 316 stainless steel, the connection kit offers strength and longevity while eliminating the need for pile shaving – further streamlining the process.
The kit is designed with both professional builders and DIY users in mind, ensuring an easy and reliable installation every time. Whether you’re working on a small deck or a larger construction project, this system makes the job faster and more efficient.
The JVice 12 kN Pile to Bearer Connection Kit is available direct from JVice or by special order through any mass timber merchant nationwide.
