The Connolly Biscuit Plate System (CBPS) is superior to other biscuit plate systems in withstanding greater loads with less deflection. It has larger steel coverage compared to other systems, providing excellent load capabilities with extremely low deflection. Testing showed the CBPS 6mm withstood over 76kN of force with under 1mm of deflection, while the CBPS 10mm withstood over 105kN with under 1mm of deflection. The CBPS is proven to be a high-quality system through testing and allows for increased spacing of plates for cost savings.
