Fastensol Cross Connect with Hex Nut - Perpendicular Rail Fixing for Triangle Brackets & Standing Seam Hooks

Description

The Fastensol Cross Connect with Hex Nut is a perpendicular rail fixing used to connect mounting rail to a bracket or hook that sits directly beneath it, rather than to the side. This is the connection method needed when a standard side-fixing approach isn't possible — most commonly when attaching rail to a Triangle Bracket or a standing seam roof hook.

Where the standard cross-connect allows rail to be joined at right angles, this version incorporates a hex nut fixing specifically suited to perpendicular connections onto brackets and hooks positioned underneath the rail run.

Please Note: If using this cross connect for cross-railing (joining two rails at right angles), an additional Fastensol nut should be purchased separately — it is not included with this listing.

Perpendicular Rail Fixing

Allows rail to be fixed to a bracket or hook positioned directly beneath it, where a standard side-fixing connection method isn't possible.

Suited to Triangle Brackets

Commonly used to connect standard Fastensol rail onto Triangle Brackets for flat roof and ground-mounted portrait arrays.

Compatible with Standing Seam Hooks

Also suited to fixing rail onto standing seam roof hooks, where the hook sits beneath the rail rather than to its side.

Hex Nut Fixing

Uses a hex nut fixing method, distinguishing it from the standard cross-connect and suited specifically to this perpendicular connection type.

What is the Fastensol Cross Connect with Hex Nut used for?

It connects Fastensol rail to a bracket or hook positioned directly beneath the rail, such as a Triangle Bracket or a standing seam roof hook, where a standard side-fixing connection isn't possible.

Does this include everything needed for cross-railing two rails together?

No. If you're using it to cross-rail (join two rails at right angles), you will need to purchase an additional Fastensol nut separately.

Is this the same as the standard Fastensol cross connect?

No. This version uses a hex nut fixing and is specifically designed for perpendicular connections onto brackets or hooks beneath the rail, rather than standard side-to-side rail connections.

What brackets or hooks is this compatible with?

It is most commonly used with Triangle Brackets on flat roof and ground-mounted systems, and with standing seam roof hooks on metal roof installations.
