SINGLE-LOCK SPLICE-LOCK™ Available in steel, aluminum alloy 3003 and stainless steel type 304. Splice-Locks™ are designed for the alignment of handrail sections and as expansion joints. They are most effective as a joint stiffener when used within 12" of a welded post or handrail bracket.
The screw hole is threaded into the connector and the Splice-Lock’s™ prongs hold the piece together as a unit allowing for simple insertion into the pipe or tube. The set screw is a headless socket with a cup end.
Splice-Locks™ have a similar shear strength as standard pipe but are not to be used in post assemblies.
Single-Lock Splice-Locks™ are for use as connectors or expansion joints. For maximum strength, use Double-Lock Splice-Locks™ shown on the next page.
