T10 Series Extrusion (1010)  1”square, sold primarily in 8’ lengths  Uses 80/20’s 6105-T5 alloy to achieve:  Yield strength of 35,000 lbs/sq. in  Tensile strength of 38,000 lbs/sq. in  Superb straightness and very low twist, even at 20 ft lengths.  Weight – ½ lb/ft.  Vibration proof – locks nuts in, making it virtually impossible to vibrate loose.  Modular T-slot system allows fast and strong assembly.

T-Nut (3382, 3280, 3287)  Available in stainless steel, hardened high- carbon steel, and zinc plated steel.  Compatible with T10 and T15 series extrusion.  ¼-20 Thread size.  Strong, sturdy, and easy to use. Slides inside T-slot.  Double, triple, and custom hole t-nuts available.

Drop-In T-nuts (3376)  Add T-nuts, and other components to an extrusion when ends cannot be accessed.  Rubber nub holds nut in to slot, and provides a handle for removal.  Available in all materials as T-nut.

Anchor Fasteners (3395)  For making 90 o angles.  Zinc casting with lacquer finish.  Incredibly strong, single anchor holds 500 lbs of direct force, and 250 lbs of cantilevered force.  Strongest type of fastener 80/20 sells.  Requires drilling of counterbore, 9/16in

Joining Plates (4115, 4136, 4141)  Precision machined from anodized T5 alloy.  Strong, lightweight, requires virtually no machining.  Easy to assemble and use very precisely.  1540 uses 3 main types: 4 hole corner (4115) holds 325lbs, 75lbs, gusseted 4 hole (4136) holds 325lbs, 220lbs, and 4 hole tee joining plate (4141).
