How do Tube Connectors work?
Tube connectors are the finishing touch that binds a tubular design together. They act as a kind of glue—except they are much stronger than any adhesive and can be removed and reused very easily.
An example of connecting clamps in action is with a table that has metal legs. A tube connector can be used to attach each leg to the underside of the tabletop. Connecting the legs in this way makes for a robust structure that can withstand the weight of objects placed on top of it.
Our tube connectors can also be use in the building of steel profile structures, steel tubing and pipes, benches, fencing systems, workshop furniture and playground equipment.
Which tube connectors do I need?
Not all tube connectors are made the same, so you will need to carefully plan your tubular design before purchasing the connecting clamps. In the Elesa catalogue, you will find square tube connectors in various styles. We supply components with two, three, four and five connector elements.
To achieve a secure final product, you should ensure that you choose tube connectors that are the same size as your tubes. Be sure to measure the internal diameter of your tubes and check them against the specifications of our components to choose the correct size.
If you are building a hardy product, our STC steel-reinforced tube connectors are an ideal choice as they strengthen the join and therefore the whole structure.
For less robust designs, our high-quality technopolymer connecting tubes are characteristically agile and lightweight. Technopolymer is a non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant material that has all the benefits of plastic with the strength of metal.
What are my design options?
At Elesa, we know that industrial practicality does not have to come at the cost of attractive appearance. We incorporate visual design in all our products and our tube connectors are no different. Our technopolymer and steel connectors are available in a matte finish of either black or grey, so they can seamlessly align with the aesthetic appeal of your workplace.
Tube connector accessories
As well as tube connectors, we supply accessory components such as round and square tube end-caps, tube plugs, round and square tube expanders, and protection covers for tubes and nuts and bolts.
Whether you are building lightweight constructions or robust industrial equipment, you can transform your structures with Elesa tube connectors. For the full range, visit the Elesa catalogue.
