Hello, and welcome to 80/20Õs Product Highlight Series. Today weÕre going take a look at
the Gusset Corner Bracket. 80/20Õs gussets are not only easy to install but require no
machining. They come in both fractional, metric, and are available across a wide range of profile
series. When using it, you have a choice. A gusset can be used as a stand-alone fastening
method, or to reinforce another fastening method. Here we can see a small sample of
the gussets 80/20 offers. As you can see, it comes in a wide variety of shapes, and
sizes, making it one of the more versatile fastening methods that 80/20 offers. Now one
thing youÕll want to keep in mind when using the gusset, is youÕll need bolt assemblies
to install it. Recommended bolt assemblies for all gussets can be found in the 80/20
product catalog. Now when it comes to installing your gusset bracket, the first thing youÕre
going to want to do is preload your hardware. Preloading not only makes it easier to install
your gusset, but also saves time during assembly. To save additional time and money, youÕll
want to look for opportunities to substitute out a single T-nut for a double T-nut like
in this example. Now to get started weÕll take our gusset with the preloaded hardware
on it, and finish it up with one last bolt and one last T-nut. Now when installing the
T-nut itÕs important to know to face the pilot hole down, away from the gusset. Once
we have that one there, weÕre ready for our bars. WeÕll slide the gusset right onto our
first bar. WeÕll take our second bar, and slide it right onto the gusset as well. WeÕll
take our wrench and tighten down. Once you have that tightened you have a strong, secure
connection. Now hopefully you found this segment on the corner gusset bracket helpful. For
