Technical
Info
Material
Planet Holds are made from a robust composite
resin, creating a product which is both strong and durable. The material
is tested to international standards for flexural strength, modulus and
deflection whereby a bar of material is suspended between two points
and subjected to a point load in the centre. All the holds have a
traceable quality control stamp on the base for added peace of
mind.

All holds are
available in a choice of 10 vibrant colours. The fluorescent colours are
only suitable for indoor use.
Fixing


- The
holds incorporate the latest technology dual inserts for maximum
flexibility in fixing. This means that both M10 countersunk and cap head
bolts can be used to secure the holds to the wall.
- Always ensure that the holds are bolted onto a flat panel or
that the moulded wall has a sufficient flat area to accommodate the
footprint of the hold as an uneven surface will create pressure points
across the hold which could result in breakages when
tightening.
- The recommended torque settings for
tensioning Planet Holds are:
- Small holds –
20-25Nm
- Medium holds – 25-35Nm
- Large holds –35 - 40Nm
- Over-tightening may result in breakages.
- Some Planet Holds come with second fixing points. These should
be secured to a suitable surface using a standard 5mm wood
screw.
- Holds should only be used for the intended
purpose.
Safety
Coil
All
our holds are fitted with a safety coil. This prevents part of the hold
falling if it should break in
use.
Cleaning
To maintain the holds in their optimum
condition they should be pressure washed using cold water. It is not
recommended that any detergents be used as over time this may have an
adverse impact on the colour vibrancy of the hold.
Disposal
Do not under any circumstances continue to use a
hold that has cracked. If there is any doubt about the integrity of the
hold, dispose of the hold
immediately.
