• Three sizes for different panel and material thickness
• No glue or concealed edges necessary
• Ideal for furniture and assemblies in lightweight construction, retail displays, caravans, and shipbuilding
  

The LC P-16 is a specialized Lamello P-System connector for lightweight panels such as cardboard & plastic honeycomb, MDF, and hard foam. The main advantage of the LC P-16 is that it eliminates the need for concealed edges. Designed for builders, fabricators, and interior specialists, the LC P-16 combines the advantages of lightweight construction with the efficient and aesthetic Clamex joint.

The LC P-16 acts as a receiver for Clamex P-14 connector halves, creating durable joints in lightweight panels. Using a Zeta P2 joiner with an 18mm depth setting and 2mm adjuster cap (sold separately), grooves can be cut directly into honeycomb materials. For precision, the Clamex P drill jig with interchangeable P-16 insert ensures perfect alignment, while a CNC with P-System capability can also be used.

Once installed, the LC P-16 allows you to connect panels just like any other Clamex P connector. The results are strong, clean joints that look professional and hold up under demanding use.

The LC P-16x11 is suitable for material with a minimum edge thickness of 12mm. Also available as P-16x17 (minimum 22mm) and P-16x22 (minimum 27mm). An LC P-16 Starter Set that includes all necessary connectors and accessories is also available.

Installation Instructions

These instructions are for the Zeta P2. Can also be done with a CNC. It's always best to confirm with your CNC's manufacturer to determine what all you need for making the P-System groove.

1. With the Zeta P2 depth set to 18, and the 2mm depth adjuster cap (sold separately) installed, cut the 16mm grooves in your workpiece edge.
2. Use the Clamex P Drill Jig (sold separately) and the P-16 Insert Element (sold separately) to create the 6mm access hole.
3. Remove the depth adjuster cap and set the Zeta depth to 10. Make the surface grooves.
4. Insert the LC P-16 connector into the machined groove, then slide a Clamex P-14 connector half with the lever into the LC P-16.
5. Insert a bottom half Clamex P-10 connector into the surface groove.
6. Assemble the joint by sliding the two workpieces together, then locking the connector in place via the 6mm access hole with a 4mm Allen key or Clamex Installation Tool (sold separately). See secondary images as well as the “Video” tab to learn more.
   

Tip: Use Lamello's LC P-16 Configurator to determine what size connector to use and which Zeta P2 cutting positions are ideal.
