LevelMaster Vertical Top Plates

Bolt the stump through the side of the bearer instead of underneath it. The Vertical Top Plates are L-shaped (or double-L for corners), pressed for a sharp internal angle so the plate sits hard against the bearer. They suit LVL construction particularly well, where bolting horizontally is the cleaner approach.

Pick the size to match your bearer:

• Vertical Small — 100 × 75 × 80mm. Compact L for narrow bearers.
• Vertical Large — 125 × 80 × 140mm. Steelmart's most-sold vertical top — also handy for butt-joining bearers.
• Vertical Extra Large — 225 × 90 × 180mm. Sized up for wide LVL specifications.
• Vertical Large Corner — 125mm high double-L for 90° bearer corners.

All four are M30 threaded with a 10mm top plate, hot dipped galvanised, and work with every LevelMaster connector.

Features:

• Hot dipped galvanised
• M30 × 200mm thread
• 6mm L-shape plate (10mm top plate on Vertical Large Corner)
• Pressed sharp internal angle for a flush bearer fit
• 8mm and 14mm bolt holes (varies by size)
• Suits all LevelMaster connectors

Common applications:

• LVL bearer construction
• New builds where bearers are bolted through the side rather than the underside
• Butt joining bearers (Vertical Large)
• Wide LVL specs (Vertical Extra Large)
• Corner connections in vertical-fixed framing (Vertical Large Corner)
