Details:

The Zipbolt UT Angled Railbolt 11.560 was designed for the stair industry to solve the challenge of securely attaching an angled handrail to a newel post using a hidden fastener. The connector features UT gear-driven technology, allowing easy tightening at a right angle, deep within the handrail, using a Torx driver in a drill or screwdriver.

The pivoting 8mm shaft has a coach bolt (wood thread) that can be hand-wound directly into the post. Once the handrail is bored and the angle cut, it attaches quickly and securely. The pivoting action adjusts to any angle – open or closed – creating a strong joint without the need for a long, visible screw through the face of the newel post or unsightly filled nail holes.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE AN IMPACT DRIVER TO INSTALL THIS PRODUCT.
