Mikado Insert Φ17 mm Body Diameter for Plywood Formwork

Mikado insert with a 17 mm body diameter is a component used in construction for plywood formwork systems. These systems are commonly employed in concrete construction to shape and mold concrete structures like walls, slabs, columns, and beams. The Mikado insert serves as a connection point between the plywood formwork and other structural elements, such as braces, scaffolding, or support beams. It typically consists of a metal body with threads on the outer surface and a flange or lip to prevent it from sinking into the plywood surface. The 17 mm body diameter refers to the diameter of the insert's main body, which determines the size of the hole needed to accommodate it in the plywood. The insert is usually installed by drilling a hole of appropriate diameter into the plywood formwork and then inserting the Mikado insert into the hole, securing it in place. Once installed, the Mikado insert provides a sturdy anchoring point for attaching various accessories or components to the formwork, allowing for efficient and reliable construction processes. It helps ensure the stability and integrity of the formwork system during concrete pouring and curing stages, ultimately contributing to the quality and strength of the finished concrete structure.
