why the pc

Secure panels faster. Fix less. Get it right the first time.

Securely draws panels together

The guided angled screw and slotted hole pull adjoining panels tightly together, creating a secure and consistent connection.

Achieves 2.5 kN/m strength with 50% fewer parts per 2.4m panel

Fewer parts and fixings mean less handling on site, helping installers complete panel connections faster than alternative solutions.

Single fixing type: 66% fewer fixings per panel

One fixing type eliminates dual sourcing and tool changes, while speeding up installation by up to 50%.

Designed for safe & accurate installation

29% lower cavity protrusion, engraved markings and rounded edges help prevent installation errors and protect membranes.

Three moves. One tight joint.

Engraved markings on the part show exactly where to line up and which screw goes where.

Position

Place the PC at the panel junction and align the dashed line to the edge of the panel covered by the Cullen logo.

First fix

Drive one of the supplied PSTS screws into the first fix screw hole on the far side.

Second Fix

Drive a second PSTS screw into the angled.

For complete installation instructions relating to panel-to-panel corner connections, panel-to-soleplate connections, and panel-to-rim beam connections, please refer to the Cullen Technical Guide.

Spacing rule of thumb

Use a minimum of 2 PC per panel, at least 300mm from each end and spaced in thirds down the panel height. At sole plate and rim beam, the number of PCs depends on the uplift design value, with a minimum 200mm edge distance.
