Universal connectors Series 6
The universal connector is a strong connector. The universal connector allows the connecting
profiles to be repositioned easily if necessary. Insertion involves boring a hole but there is no tapping of
the profiles necessary. There are a variety of types available.
Other connectors Series 6
Angle brackets are versatile connectors. They can add considerable strength to the joint.
Angles require no machining. Some Valuframe angles have keys mounded on the contact surfaces, these are used
to locate the angle in the profile slot and ensure alignment. These keys can be snapped off if not required.
There are a variety of types available, some with plastic covers to hide the fastenings and enhance the
aesthetic look of your frame. Parallel plates are simple accessories to connect profiles.
