Connecting fittings
Hidden strength
What you need to know about connecting fittings
Their hidden strengths have been proved through years of constant use: Connecting fittings are inconspicuous, partly or completely concealed but are extremely robust.

When it comes to functionality, they don't need to hide behind such well-tried connecting fittings as finger and dovetail or glue-in dowels.Details

Screw-on connecting fittings

a modern connecting fitting which can be quickly mounted and dismounted when, for instance, it's necessary to move home.
