Fittings

Our fittings are stamped from high quality steel. They are designed for maximum clamping and holding force and can be used and reused. The finish is a tough black oxide that is chip and rust resistant. For further tube retention many of the fitting bodies have 2 deep stamped ribs which help grip the tubes. This insures structural rigidity and design integrity.

Clamptight^® Make it Permanent or Semi-Permanent

Each fitting also features our patent pending Clamptight® hole design that allows you to make your rack construction semi or fully permanent (Photo 1 below). Each fitting has a 4 mm hole punched through it, providing a pilot hole to affix the fitting to a tube. For semi permanent applications the tube can be fastened with a #8 TEK (Photo 2 below) for permanent applications use a 4.2 mm drill and an Avdel #1624-D514 blind rivet (Photo 1 below). Both the self drilling fasteners, rivets and 4.2 mm bit are available from Quixxsmart. Benefits of the Clamptight® feature are:

• Structural integrity for higher loads
• Vibration proofing, in active load applications
• Maximum tube retention for carts and tugging applications
• The rivet provides a tamper proof design
• Ease of application with the integral pilot hole
• Can be used as a safety check to insure that the tube has been fully inserted and seated.
