Elgate's
Multi-Purpose Fitting System features a unique ring profile
which allows fitting of additional clamps at any time, even after
the fitting is securely tightened on the post. This important feature
means that different straight or angled clamps to suit almost any
combination of rail sizes can be attached to the post easily, adjusted
and secured individually if desired. A full 360° rotation, combined
with our exclusive 120° vertically adjustable angle fittings,
gives this product true multi-purpose adaptability for any application. |

| The Multi-Purpose Fitting system can economically replace expensive special purpose fittings such as Five Way Tees and Ring Corners and Sockets, as well as help reduce stock holdings. The system can easily be adapted for use in angled corners, struts, raked top rails, undulating ground levels, stair rails and balustrades, gazebo type trusses and multiple fence lines to name but a few. | |||||||||||||||||
