A pin is a steel connector that passes through the matching holes on the edges of two formwork panels. The wedge is then inserted into the pin slot and driven with controlled hammer blows. Together, these two parts create a simple, strong and reusable connection for steel concrete formwork. This connection is commonly used for foundations, walls, columns and other reinforced-concrete structures. Correctly selected pins and wedges help maintain panel alignment and reduce the risk of open joints, grout loss and concrete surface defects. They are especially suitable for modular concrete formwork systems.

Price of Formwork Pins and Wedges
The current price depends on sheet thickness, dimensions, weight, surface finish, order quantity, packaging and destination. A low-cost part with sharp burrs, deformation or poor locking performance may create a higher total cost through delays, leakage and frequent replacement.Today’s price is quoted by phone: send the required quantity, preferred thickness and delivery city to receive a current factory quotation.

- Match thickness and weight with the project requirements.
- Check that the edges are free from dangerous burrs, cracks and excessive deformation.
- Make sure the pin passes through the panel holes without abnormal looseness.
- The wedge should lock securely with controlled hammer blows.
- Select plain or plated parts according to site moisture and storage conditions.
- Confirm the pair count per sack, delivery terms and availability of replacement quantity.
- For large projects, test a sample before placing the complete order.
How to Install Formwork Pins and Wedges
Correct installation keeps panels aligned and distributes concrete pressure more evenly. Excessive impact, damaged parts or installation on unaligned panels can damage both the connector and the formwork edge.- Prepare the work area and tools: hammer, level, tape measure, gloves and safety glasses.
- Inspect the panels, holes and joining edges. Remove concrete residue and visible burrs.
- Place the two panels according to the formwork layout and align their edges.
- Pass the pin through the matching holes. If it does not pass easily, correct the alignment instead of forcing it.
- Insert the wedge into the pin slot and apply short, controlled hammer blows.
- Check level, plumb and joint closure before continuing with the next panel.
- Inspect all perimeter connections and bracing before concrete placement.
- After the concrete has gained sufficient strength, release the wedge and remove the pin without damaging the panel.
Safety Notes
- Wear eye protection and gloves during hammering.
- Never stand under an unsupported or suspended panel.
- Remove cracked, bent or severely corroded parts from service.
- Use controlled impact; excessive force may damage the panel edge.
Common Mistakes
Using too few connectors, locking wedges on unaligned panels and mixing severely worn parts with new parts are common site mistakes. Use suitable complementary formwork equipment and follow the project’s approved method statement.
