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 splice-locks are for use as connectors or expansion joints. For maximum strength, use double-lock splice-locks shown on the next page.

Assembly Instructions

SINGLE-LOCK SPLICE-LOCK ASSEMBLY
The splice-lock contacts the inside of the tube or pipe in four areas along its length to insure alignment and maximum strength.

1. Drill 13/32" diameter hole for 3/8" screws or 11/32" hole for 5/16" screws at 3/8" to center from the end of the pipe or tube, as shown.
2. Insert splice-lock into this first section.
3. Insert and partially tighten the set screw.
4. Slide other section to be joined over the splice-lock.
5. Complete tightening of the set screw until no movement is possible.
   Resultant action: Splice-lock contacts inside of pipe or tube in four areas along the full length to ensure alignment and maximum strength.

Note: Both sections to be joined must have the same wall thickness.
