Slipfix Exterior was created for outdoor use, it is a combination of stainless steel parts and epoxy coated and baked parts, the reason is coated parts could not be made from stainless steel. We have tested the product to 1,000 hrs corrosion test and 1,500 hrs of salt spray test with satisfaction. Slipfix is excellent for situations where a rail is fitted between fixed posts or to any post fixing application, a strong, durable and invisible joint is created.
The Slipfix is pre-installed in both ends of the rail and retracts flush with the end grain. When the handrail is lowered between the posts, the connector pin is deployed to engage with the keyhole discs in the posts. Once connected, simply tighten the gear housing.
The boring of holes in the handrail is similar to that of other Zipbolt Railbolts and you can use the Railbolt Drill Guide.
