About the #5
The #5 tee joins the end of one pipe to the middle of another at 90°. The through pipe stays continuous, which keeps rails and frames stiff and simple to lay out.
Like every Nu-Rail® fitting, it's cast from corrosion-resistant 535 aluminum-magnesium alloy and locks onto standard pipe with set screws. No welding, no threading, just a hex key. Loosen the screws and you can reposition it or take the whole structure apart later.
Where it's used
- Posts meeting a continuous top rail
- Mid-rails and shelf supports
- Cross members in frames and racks
