What are Expanding Tube Connectors?

Expanding tube connectors are innovative precision-engineered components designed to offer a secure, reliable connection between tubes or pipes. These connectors feature a unique expanding mechanism that, when tightened, engages and securely locks the connector into place within a tube, ensuring a tight, stable fit without the need for welding or adhesive. Perfect for applications requiring quick assembly and disassembly, they interact seamlessly with other assembly hardware, providing both flexibility and strength in various mechanical systems.

How Expanding Tube Connectors Work.

The magic of expanding tube connectors lies in their simplicity and efficiency. Upon insertion into a tube and the tightening of their integrated bolt (for male connectors) or nut (for female connectors), they expand, creating a firm lock against the inner wall of the tube. These connectors can be used together to join two tubes, or can be used with studs and tapped holes to enable a tube to connect to another workpiece. This mechanism is particularly beneficial in industries like automotive, construction, and manufacturing, where they contribute to the structural integrity of frameworks and systems. Their ease of installation and removal makes them a go-to choice for temporary structures or in scenarios requiring frequent adjustments.

Materials and Benefits.

Constructed from durable Nylon, these connectors offer a blend of lightweight flexibility and robust strength. Nylon's resistance to wear, impact, and corrosion makes it an ideal material for connectors exposed to harsh environments or heavy usage, ensuring longevity and reliability wherever they're installed.

Size, Type, and Finishes.

Our expanding tube connectors come in a range of sizes to suit various applications, with thread sizes from M6 (6mm) to M10 (10mm), and outside diameters to slide into inner diameters of tubes from 16mm to 38mm. Whether you're working with smaller frameworks or larger structures, we've got you covered.
