PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum CLIP top 79A9557.T +37° Type II Overlay Screw-On Hinge
The Blum 79A9557.T is a specialised sprung CLIP top concealed hinge for +37° Type II overlay angled-cabinet applications. Its hinge-arm geometry allows a door to operate correctly on a strongly angled or diagonal cabinet construction while providing a controlled 95° opening angle.
This version has a conventional screw-on 35mm hinge cup and a self-closing spring. The hinge attaches to a separately purchased Blum CLIP mounting plate, allowing the door to be fitted and removed from the cabinet without tools.

Screw-on cup drilling
The hinge requires a 35mm cup hole drilled 12.3mm deep. Its two screw-fixing positions are arranged on 45mm centres, with the fixing line positioned 9.5mm from the centreline of the cup. Blum specifies a drilling distance of 3–7mm.
Choosing the mounting plate
A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate is required and sold separately. The correct plate height depends on the cabinet construction, door thickness, drilling position and required overlay. Because this is a specialised +37° application, confirm the complete hinge and plate geometry before production drilling.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Blum 79A9557.T sprung?
Yes. Blum specifies a spring closing mechanism, making this a self-closing hinge. It should not be described as unsprung.
Does this hinge have integrated soft closing?
No. The 79A9557.T is a sprung CLIP top hinge without integrated BLUMOTION.
Is this hinge suitable for TIP-ON?
This sprung version is not the normal hinge specification for a TIP-ON handleless door. TIP-ON applications generally require an unsprung hinge.
Is the hinge completely tool-free?
No. The hinge cup is secured to the door with screws. Once installed, the hinge arm connects to and disconnects from the CLIP mounting plate without tools.
What does +37° Type II mean?
It describes the cabinet angle and the hinge-arm geometry. This is a specialised Type II overlay hinge and should not be substituted with a Type I or Type III hinge solely because the opening angle is similar.
Is a mounting plate included?
No. One hinge is supplied. The correct Blum CLIP mounting plate must be selected and ordered separately.
