Type 3 Flush performs just like the original Type 3, but its oval form makes it easy to be fully recessed into panels of at least 18mm thick. The narrow shape is also handy when mounting to thin battens or frames.
Made from identical materials and using the same Button as Type 3, Type 3 Flush offers the reliability and durability that sets Button-fix apart from other push-fit connectors. It also uses the same accessories - the Button Marker tool and router Multijig - as our Type 1 family of fasteners.

Wherever you want panels to connect face-to-face with no gap and with a simple push-on engagement, Type 3 Flush is our recommended choice.
Typical uses include:
Wall panel with 4 x Fixes, guide load = 60 kg max.
Ceiling panel with 4 x Fixes, guide load = 10 kg max.
- Advice on panel loads is given with the proviso that the screws and substrate are properly matched, and all other instructions complied with. For critical applications it is essential to perform your own tests.
- The guide load for using Type 3 on ceiling panels should be applied to any panel that is not vertical and its weight acts to disengage the Button-fix.

Specially designed for push-on engagement, the purple Button delivers a reliable, long-lasting performance. Flexible fingers centre the fixing screw yet allow the Button to ‘float’, to take up tolerances in the installation. Use with #8 or #10 round washer head screws.
The Button Marker for both Type 1 and Type 3 helps to quickly and accurately align the Button-fix installation, reducing the need for measuring and marking out. Simply snap a marker into each Fix, then position the panel and press firmly. The indents mark where the Buttons go.
The Multijig helps when machining the oval recesses required for rebated configurations of Button-fix. It is made from clear acrylic, so that you can see the workpiece below, and has printed guide marks. For rebating Type 1, Type 1 Flush, Type 1 Bonded and Type 1 Metal Fixes.
The Type 1 Button-fix connects parallel panels where the emphasis is on strength, and is recommended when the panels are carrying cantilevered loads such as shelving.
For hanging thin materials such as solid grade laminate, solid surface (Corian®, Hanex®, etc.), glass, metal or stone, Type 1 Bonded Button-fix is the best solution.
When constructing furniture, cladding reception desks or adding sides to kitchen cabinets, and panel-to-panel contact is required, Type 1 Flush is the recommended Button-fix.
Whether it is in transport environments, subject to vibration and shock loads, or for fire-rated ceiling panels, the Type 1 Metal Button-fix is the high-performance choice.
Its 90° connection and straight push-on engagement make the Type 2 Button-fix the recommended choice for access panels and boxing-in services.
Like the original Type 2, they connect panels at 90° or to a frame. But their more compact installation depth allows the Button to be fitted to the edge of an aperture in an 18mm (3/4”) panel – ideal for a service access window.
The push-on/pull-off engagement of the Type 3 Button-fix couldn't be simpler, and is ideal when there is no clearance around the panel.
