Safety and handling
Storage and disposal
Store in a dry, shaded area to protect material integrity. Dispose of product in accordance with local regulations for plastic materials.
Substrate guide
The Buzon PB-C1 Coupler extends the height of Buzon PB pedestals, forming part of a raised flooring system. The coupler itself does not directly contact the supporting substrate.
Supported finished surfaces
The Buzon pedestal system, when incorporating the PB-C1 Coupler, supports a range of finished surfaces. This includes granite stone pavers, composite and timber decking, ceramic tiles, and fibreglass or metal grating panels, provided the overall system design adheres to Buzon's guidelines for pedestrian loads.
Primer: Not applicable. The coupler is an intermediate component within the pedestal system.
