PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 71B7590 CLIP top BLUMOTION 155° Zero-Protrusion Overlay Hinge – INSERTA
The Blum 71B7590 is a 155° wide-angle overlay hinge designed for cabinets containing internal drawers, pull-out shelves and other fittings that require an unobstructed opening.
Its zero-protrusion geometry keeps the open door clear of the pull-out path when the cabinet and overlay are correctly planned. This allows internal fittings to extend past the hinged side without colliding with the door.
Unlike the screw-on 71B7550 version, this model features Blum’s INSERTA fixing. The hinge cup locks into the prepared door drilling without separate cup-fixing screws, providing fast, tool-free hinge installation.
Integrated BLUMOTION delivers smooth, controlled soft closing and can be switched off at the hinge when required. The CLIP mechanism also allows the door to be attached to or removed from a compatible mounting plate without tools.

Applications
This hinge is particularly useful for kitchen cabinets with internal drawers, larder and pantry pull-outs, cabinets containing pull-out shelves, wide cabinets requiring improved access, furniture where the door must clear internal fittings, and production environments using prepared INSERTA door drilling.
Correct cabinet planning, mounting-plate selection and drilling dimensions are essential to achieve the intended zero-protrusion performance.

For doors requiring conventional screw-fixed hinge cups, see the Blum 71B7550 screw-on version.
Opening-angle restriction
Where the full 155° opening is unnecessary, compatible restrictors can be fitted. HI70T7553 reduces the opening to approximately 110°, and HI70T755309 reduces it to approximately 92°.
Frequently asked questions
What does INSERTA mean?
INSERTA is Blum’s tool-free fixing system for attaching the hinge cup to a prepared cabinet door. It is the door fixing, not the cabinet mounting plate.
Does the hinge include a mounting plate?
No. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be ordered separately to suit the cabinet construction and required overlay.
What does zero protrusion mean?
When the hinge, mounting plate and overlay are correctly planned, the open door remains clear of the cabinet’s internal pull-out path. This helps internal drawers and shelves open without striking the door.
Is BLUMOTION included?
Yes. BLUMOTION soft-close is integrated into the hinge and can be switched off when necessary.
What is the maximum door thickness?
Blum specifies compatible doors up to 24mm thick. Door profile, edge shape and drilling position must still be checked for the individual application.
Can the opening angle be reduced?
Yes. Compatible opening-angle stops can reduce the opening to approximately 110° or 92°.
What is the difference between 71B7590 and 71B7550?
The 71B7590 uses tool-free INSERTA fixing in the door. The 71B7550 uses a conventional screw-fixed hinge cup. Their wide-angle and zero-protrusion applications are otherwise closely related.
Is this supplied as a pair?
No. The product is supplied as one hinge. Order the required quantity for the door size and weight.
