Universal connectors Series 8
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 8
The series 8 profile family has more connecting options than any of the other series. 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.
