Elegance

The connectors have been carefully sculpted to provide smooth transitional geometry that is otherwise unachievable using standard fabrication practices.

Simplicity

As fabrication of true-pin connections to hollow structural section (HSS) members is difficult, particularly when aesthetics are a concern, the use of Universal Pin Connectors vastly simplifies the design, detailing, and fabrication of critical architecturally exposed structural connections and significantly improves the aesthetic value of the finished assembly.

Universal Pin Connectors are a complete connection solution, as they are supplied with the associated carbon steel pins and electropolished stainless steel washers, cap plates, and cap screws.

Consistency

CAST CONNEX Universal Pin Connectors offer

  • Smooth, curving transitions from every viewpoint
  • Eye-catching end connections for compression struts, column bases, truss web members, or anywhere a load-bearing true-pin connection is desired
  • Connection details provided with tabulated connection capacities
  • Dramatically simplified fabrication and a fraction of the grinding that typically accompanies AESS
  • Consistent and reliable architectural appearance
