Internal Connector Bracket for 50x50 Square Tube
Galvanized U Bracket for 50 × 50 SHS (1.6 mm & 2.0 mm wall only)
Heavy‑duty, hot‑dip galvanized U bracket engineered for secure connections and bolt‑down bases on 50 × 50 SHS posts.
Designed specifically for 50 × 50 square hollow section (SHS) with 1.6 mm or 2.0 mm wall thickness; not suitable for thicker or thinner tube walls.
Key features
- Precision fit for 50 × 50 SHS (1.6 mm & 2.0 mm wall).
- Hot‑dip galvanised finish for long‑term corrosion resistance.
- Bolt‑down base with pre‑drilled holes sized for screws or DynaBolts.
- Robust steel construction for structural stability and load transfer.
- Clean, simple design for fast installation and neat finished appearance.
Benefits
- Eliminates the need for on‑site welding when anchoring posts.
- Maintains galvanising and powder‑coating integrity by avoiding heat damage.
- Provides a reliable, repeatable connection for fencing, pergolas, carports, and signage.
- Pre‑drilled holes speed up installation and make anchoring to concrete or timber straightforward.
Typical uses
- Bolt‑down bases for posts and uprights.
- Frame and cage assembly where a secure base is required.
- DIY and professional projects: carports, pergolas, fencing, signage, and light structural work.
Installation tips
- Confirm your SHS wall thickness is 1.6 mm or 2.0 mm before fitting.
- Use appropriate anchor fasteners (screws or DynaBolts) sized to the substrate.
- For concrete bases, drill and clean holes before inserting anchors; tighten to manufacturer torque specs.
- If painting or powder coating after installation, mask holes to preserve galvanising where possible.
50 × 50 Tube Joiner / Connector
Versatile 50 × 50 tube joiner that creates strong, no‑weld connections for metal and plastic tubing. Ideal for assembling frames, cages, joists and more without compromising galvanising or powder coating.
Key features
- Fits 50 × 50 tube (metal and compatible plastic tubing).
- No welding required — fasten with bolts or screws for a clean, heat‑free join.
- Can double as internal joist hangers for timber or metal joists.
- Galvanising‑friendly — preserves protective coatings by avoiding heat.
- Robust construction for repeated load cycles.
Benefits
- Speeds up assembly and reduces labour compared with welding.
- Keeps galvanised and powder‑coated finishes intact.
- Reusable and adjustable — disassemble and reconfigure frames easily.
- Suitable for both DIY and professional fabrication tasks.
Common applications
- Building frames, cages, and enclosures.
- Carports, pergolas, trellis frames, and garden structures.
- Decking, floor and ceiling joist support where internal joist hangers are needed.
- Temporary or modular structures that may be relocated or modified.
Installation tips
- Ensure tube ends are square and clean for best fit.
- Use appropriate grade bolts or screws and lock washers for secure joins.
- For load‑bearing joist applications, follow local building codes and use the correct fastener pattern and sizes.
- Check alignment before final tightening to avoid stress on the connector.
