Hello, and welcome to 80/20’s product highlight series. Today, we’re going to take a look
at the bolt connector. This connector is virtually invisible once installed, and is a great choice
when making a flush 90 degree connection. The bolt connector comes in six parts; you
have two bolts, two T-nuts, an alignment pin, and a spacer. Now one thing you want to keep
in mind when using the bolt connector, is one of your bars is going to need machined
on one end with a thru hole. More information on bolt connector machining services can be
found in the 80/20 product catalog. Now when it comes to installing the bolt connector,
you’re going to start with your alignment pin. Take your bar with the machining service,
and place the alignment pin through the machining service. From there, we’ll take our spacer
and place it in the center cavity of the profile. We’ll take our bolts with the T-nuts on
them, and place them on both sides of the profile. We’ll grab our other bar, and line
up the T-nuts with the open T-slot. We’ll find the location on the bar where we want
it, and we’ll tighten down. Now the great thing about the bolt connector is its adjustability.
If you need a new location on the bar, simply loosen your bolts, and slide it into a new
location. Take your wrench, and tighten it back down. Once you have it tightened down,
you have a secure hidden connection. Now hopefully you found this segment on the bolt connector
helpful. For more information visit 8020.net, and make sure to subscribe to future 80/20
