Creating fixtures, displays, sign frames and even furniture items can be very easy and uncomplicated if you opt to use aluminum tube and nylon tubing connectors. With the ability to customize the size, shape and look to your exact specifications, this combination makes a great option for anyone to consider.
There are two basic sizes of aluminum tubing and connectors that are used in these types of applications. This includes the larger 1 inch size and the slightly smaller ¾ inch size. It will be important to choose the tubing connectors that are designed for the correct size of aluminum tubing.
Use the Same Supplier
It is a good idea to purchase tubing and the connectors from the same manufacturer. When buying directly from the manufacturer and supplier, there will be no risk in finding the two difficult to use with each other. A common problem that can occur is with the aluminum tubing having rounded interior corners when the connectors are squared off. While they can be used with some shaving off of the connector corners, it is time consuming and frustrating.
By using a top supplier, you will have the top selection in different connector options. This will not only allow you to easily make frames or provide right angles, but it will also give a good selection of caps, footers and even adjustable connectors.
Quick Release Connectors
The top quality nylon tubing connectors offered by select suppliers will feature what is known as a Quick Release button. This allows the connector to snap into place and provide a secure attachment between the two or more tubing pieces.
With this feature in place, there is no risk that the display, fixture or the frame will ever pull apart unexpectedly. Additionally, with this option, there is no need for additional tools to complete either the construction or to take the tubing off of the connector if needed at a later date.
