OVVO FAQ
The OVVO FAQ page helps you learn everything about the OVVO connection system. Whether you’re a manufacturer or DIY user, this page answers your most common questions.
OVVO works in all types of material. Materials that can be routed and drilled will accept OVVO fittings.

In order to hold the housing in place without any glue required, each OVVO system has its own special router cutter, which makes the required profile in the material to firmly hold the housing in place. You’ll find tool information on each connector page or through the OVVO FAQ.
As always it depends, for standard 90° joints, the V-1230 range works in all panel sizes of 15,16 & 18mm. Depending on the processing capabilities depends on whether or not you would choose MILLING (3-piece sets), DRILLING (2 piece sets) or NESTING (2 piece sets).
The depth control of the housing into the panel is the key to successfully using OVVO. The depth control only needs to be successfully set up once to your specific processing environment then everything will be good to go. For an even stronger joint using the DRILLING parts in the end of particle board we recommend using a 7.8mm drill bit for PD20 & RD25.

Any standard router can be set up with some templates and jigs to produce the housing profile alternatively we have collaborated with Virutex, a specialist hand held tool maker, who have developed the Virutex AB181-VD especially for use with OVVO connectors. We also sell this hand tool directly, please contact us for more information.
Another useful bench top machine, which can easily be set up to create the OVVO profiles is the pantorouter – link here www.pantorouter.com

Use dowels as locators when assembling with permanent fittings for alignment and they add additional stability. Also when using dowels they can be offset in different panels so that the end user cannot join panels incorrectly.
The OVVO® Connection System offers several major advantages that improve both manufacturing and user experience.
1. Easy Assembly:
This benefit is especially valuable for customers who may not have technical skills or access to professional tools. It also reduces the chance of assembly errors, leading to a better end-user experience.
2. Lower Shipping Costs:
This is a major advantage for e-commerce and global shipping, where dimensional weight and packaging costs play a big role in pricing.
3. Fewer Components Needed:
Without the need for extra screws, nails, or fasteners, the assembly is not only quicker but also more eco-friendly by reducing packaging waste.
The V-0930 Connectors are suitable for ≥ 12mm boards.
The V-1230 Connector are suitable for ≥ 15mm boards.
The 1240 Connector are suitable for ≥ 20mm boards.
Every job varies depending on how much strength and stability is needed.
Typically, we recommend the following: 45mm in from each end to the centre of the connector (with a min-max range of 30mm – 70mm centres), then either 250 or 300 centres (with a min-max range of between 200 – 400).
When using OVVO releasable connectors do not use glue.
When using OVVO permanent connectors you can add glue if you wish.
OVVO works with all major CNC Manufacturers and Software Providers in the furniture industry.
