EASILY CONNECT ANGLED HANDRAILS TO NEWEL POSTS – Perfect for stairway post joints, this angled railbolt kit adjusts to the ideal angle to perfectly align the lower connection of an angled handrail to a newel post.
FAST INSTALLATION – Attaching handrails to fittings is no longer a tedious, time consuming process. Wax and screw the railbolt into the reamed newel post, place the housing gear inside the railing, and tighten the gear with the included 5mm hex bit using a screwdriver or cordless drill. NOTE: Impact drivers should not be used when tightening the gear housing.
DURABLE CONSTRUCTION – Made with quality steel for maximum durability, these Zipbolts incorporate a double knuckle joint with a hardened pin. Created by professionals for residential and commercial use, they provide a solid and stable connection without the frustration of traditional methods.
INNOVATIVE PATENTED DESIGN – Zipbolt offers a distinctive patented gear drive that outperforms all others in terms of functionality. The innovative UT gear-driven mechanism eliminates the issues associated with conventional techniques of joining stair newels to rails. The railbolt housing's distinctive open channel allows the housing to be dropped directly on the shaft, eliminating the need for nuts and washers.
The Zipbolt UT Angled Railbolt was designed for the stair industry to solve the problem of secretly attaching a handrail at an angle to a newel post. The connector uses the UT drive technology, which enables easy tightening at a right angle and deep within the handrail just using a hex bit or simple Allen key. The pivoting 8mm shaft has a coach bolt thread (wood thread) which can be simply hand wound into the post. Once the hand rail has been bored and the angle cut (last), it is easily attached. The pivoting action caters to any necessary angle open or closed; it produces a strong joint without the unsightly long screw going through the visible face of the newel post or ugly filled nail holes. This multipack includes a 5mm hex bit with quick release shank.
