To Purchase: https://bit.ly/3J7hxCW Find in Catalog: https://bit.ly/428g7iZ 80/20 Website: https://bit.ly/3peM7n3 Hello, and welcome to 80/20's product highlight series. Today we are going to take a look at the central connector. This fastening method is a great choice for a strong connection with adjustability. It's available in fractional, metric, and compatible across a wide range of profile series. Now the central connector comes in three parts. You have the bolt, the barrel nut, and the spring. Now one thing you'll want to keep in mind when using the central connector, is one of your bars is going to need machined with a counterbore service, and a hole drilled in the center cavity. More information on central connector machining services can be found in the 80/20 product catalog. Now when it comes to installing the central connector, you'ree going to start with your barrel and place it into the counterbore service, making sure the hole faces out towards the end of the profile. Next we'll take our bolt, place the spring over it. From there we'll take our bolt and place it in the center cavity with the indent facing up towards the barrel. We'll line it up, and slightly engage it with our wrench. From there we'll take the other bar, and slide the connector in. Find our desired location, and tighten down with our wrench. Now the great thing about the central connector, is its adjustability. If you need a new location on the bar, simply loosen up the central connector, find your new location on the bar, and tighten down firmly again. Once you have that tightened down, you have a strong, flush connection. Hopefully you found this segment on the central connector helpful.
