Fittings come in two pieces to clasp over rails, making assembly and disassembly quicker than our other framing. Use it to form temporary partitions, modular conveyors, and workstations. To assemble, clamp fittings onto the rail and tighten the included cap screw and nut. For permanent connections and added strength, fittings have a 5/32" hole to drill in an additional screw (not included).

Galvanized Iron and Steel Slip-On Framing and Fittings
To provide corrosion resistance in wet environments, this framing is galvanized. Slip the fittings over rails to construct custom railings, guard rails, storage racks, and shelving. Tighten the included set screws for a secure hold.
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Carbon Fiber Slip-On Framing and Fittings
Stronger than plastic and aluminum, this is the lightest weight framing we offer. It has good resistance to chemicals and salt water. Slip the fittings over rails to construct custom railings, guard rails, storage racks, and shelving. Drill rails and connect fittings with the included hardware.
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Plastic Slip-On Framing and Fittings
In addition to being lightweight and strong, this plastic framing is nonconductive with good resistance to chemicals and salt water. Slip the fittings over rails to construct custom railings, guard rails, storage racks, and shelving. Join the rail and fittings with PVC cement (not included) for a permanent bond or drill and connect with fasteners (not included).
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Stainless Steel Slip-On Framing and Fittings
Made of 316 stainless steel, this framing has excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water. Slip the fittings over rails to construct custom railings, guard rails, storage racks, and shelving.
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Telescoping Weld-Together Rails
Create posts of varying lengths. To telescope rails, slide one length of rail into the next larger size rail (for example, a 1 3/4" height rail fits into a 2" height rail and a 3/4" dia. rail fits into a 1" dia. rail). Weld the rails together at the desired length to create strong structures. These rails are not compatible with weld-together framing and fittings.
Carbon steel rails are lightly oiled.
Aluminum rails are about half the weight of steel and resist corrosion in wet environments.
304 stainless steel rails are more corrosion resistant than galvanized carbon steel. They also have good chemical resistance.

The interior and exterior are polished to a high-luster finish to resist particle buildup and allow for easy cleaning. Tubing is welded with a smoothed weld bead on the inside.
316L stainless steel tubing has excellent corrosion resistance.
Note: Ra measures the smoothness of the tubing; the lower the Ra value, the smoother and more polished the surface.
