neutral  Kim Metzger: I don't think Klammer are clamps here. fuer die Befestigung der Beplankung auf den Wandelementen./It looks like they're for prefab wall elements. Clamps are tools that are removed after serving their purpose. /Brackets, maybe.

staple spacing


Explanation:
This type of fastener for fixing linings to walls is called a "staple" in English.

(British Standards definition: "U-shaped metal fastening, used to secure one component to another, that is driven into position")

"Staple" used as official translation for "Klammer" (context: plasterboard linings) in the title of a German standard:

… and here in description of a European standard:
