Hello, and welcome to 80/20’s Product Highlight Series. Today we’re going take a look at
the corner bracket. 80’20’s corner brackets are not only easy to install but also require
no machining. They come in fractional, metric, and are available across a wide range of profile
series. When using it, you have a choice. A corner bracket can be used as a stand alone
fastening method, or to reinforce another fastening method. Here we can see a small
sample of the corner brackets that 80/20 offers. As you can see, brackets come in a wide variety
of shapes, and sizes. Making it one of the more versatile fastening methods that 80/20
offers. Now one thing you’ll want to keep in mind when using the corner bracket, is
you’ll need bolt assemblies to install it. Recommended bolt assemblies for all corner
brackets, can be found in the 80/20 product catalog. Now when it comes to installing your
corner bracket, the first thing you’re going to want do is preload your hardware. Preloading
not only makes it easier to install your corner bracket, but also saves time during assembly.
To save additional time and money, you’ll want to look for opportunities to substitute
out your single T-nut for a double, or a triple T-nut like in this example. Now to get started
we’ll take our corner bracket, with the preloaded hardware on it, put one last bolt
and one last T-nut on it. Now when installing the T-nut it’s important to know to face
the pilot hole downwards, away from the bracket. Once we have the preloaded on there, we’ll
take our first bar, and slide the bracket right onto it. Once we have that set on there,
we’ll take our other bar, and slide it right onto the bracket. Once you have it set where
you want it, we’ll take our wrench and tighten down. Once you have that tightened down, you
have a strong, secure connection. Now hopefully you found this segment on the corner bracket
helpful. For more information, visit 8020.net and make sure to subscribe to future 80/20
