Blum 171A5070 +5° Angled Mounting-Plate Spacer

The Blum 171A5070 is a +5° obtuse angled spacer installed beneath selected Blum CLIP cruciform mounting plates. Its wedge-shaped form changes the mounting-plate angle while providing 6mm nominal spacing for specific angled cabinet-door applications.

Within Blum’s +5° angled-spacer range, this version provides 6mm nominal spacing. Select it from the relevant Blum planning information rather than treating it as a universal shim. This component is not a hinge or mounting plate, and a hinge cannot attach directly to it.

Technical specification

Frequently asked questions

What does the Blum 171A5070 spacer do?

It sits beneath a selected cruciform mounting plate to alter its mounting angle by +5° and provide 6mm nominal spacing in an appropriate Blum-planned application.

Is 171A5070 a mounting plate?

No. It is an angled spacer used beneath a compatible mounting plate.

Can a hinge attach directly to this spacer?

No. The hinge attaches to the compatible mounting plate, not directly to the spacer.

Does 6mm mean the overall length or measured thickness?

No. Blum specifies 6mm as the nominal spacing for this angled spacer; it must not be presented as a verified overall length.

How does it differ from the 0.8mm and 3mm +5° spacers?

They provide different nominal spacing values within the same +5° angled-spacer family. Use the part specified by the relevant Blum planning information.

Does it work with every Blum hinge?

No universal compatibility should be assumed. Confirm the complete hinge and mounting-plate arrangement against the relevant Blum planning diagram.
