PVC-Coated Strut and Accessories

Fewer parts, less installation
time and huge labor savings!

Trapnut® Strut Fastener

The unique scissor action of the Trapnut® Strut Fastener closes at any
desired position on the threaded rod. Once closed, precision threads trap
the rod for a sturdy hold that can be adjusted up or down for fine-tune
positioning. While the versatile Trapnut
holds it in the desired position, it can also be removed and reused.

and washers
