INSERTA drilling pattern
INSERTA installation requires a 35mm hinge-cup hole and two accurately positioned 8mm fixing holes on 45mm centres. Once the door is correctly drilled, the expanding INSERTA mechanism secures the hinge without separate cup-fixing screws.
Mounting-plate selection
A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate is required and sold separately. Plate height depends on the cabinet construction, door position and required overlay.
| Blum planning application | Plate height | Example mounting plate |
|---|---|---|
| No. 21 | 18mm | 175H7190.22 |
| No. 51 | 9mm | 175H7190 |
| No. 6 | 0mm | 173H7100 |
| No. 58 | 3mm | 173H7130 |
Confirm the mounting plate against the actual cabinet dimensions before drilling. Browse the Blum CLIP top mounting-plate range or view all Blum CLIP top hinges.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Blum 79A9596BT1 sprung?
Yes. The hinge contains a closing spring and is self-closing. The current description should not identify it as unsprung.
What is an INSERTA hinge?
INSERTA is Blum's tool-free hinge-cup fixing system. Expanding fixings secure the hinge in a correctly prepared 35mm cup and two-hole drilling pattern without separate cup screws.
Does this hinge have integrated BLUMOTION?
No. It is compatible with optional clip-on BLUMOTION 973A. For integrated, switchable soft closing, use the Blum 79B9596.
Is this hinge suitable for TIP-ON?
This sprung version is not the normal specification for a TIP-ON handleless door. TIP-ON applications generally require the corresponding unsprung hinge.
What is the difference between 79A9596BT1 and 79A9556.T1?
Both are sprung +30° Type II overlay hinges. The 79A9596BT1 uses tool-free INSERTA cup fixing, while the 79A9556.T1 uses a conventional screw-on cup.
Is this a +30° Type III hinge?
No. This is the Type II overlay configuration. A Type III maximum-overlay hinge uses different arm geometry and should not be substituted without checking the application.
Is the mounting plate included?
No. One hinge is supplied and the correct CLIP mounting plate must be ordered separately.
