IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE IMPACT DRIVER TO INSTALL THIS PRODUCT. The Zipbolt UT Angled Railbolt 11.560 was designed for the stair industry to solve the problem of secretly attaching the hand rail at an angle to a newel post. The connector uses the UT gear drive technology, which enables easy tightening at a right angle and deep within the handrail just using a hex bit or simple Allen key. The pivoting 8mm shaft has a coach bolt thread (wood thread) which can be simply hand wound into the post. Once the hand rail has been bored and the angle cut (last) it is easily attached. The pivoting action caters to any necessary angle open or closed; it produces a strong joint without the unsightly long screw going through the visible face of the newel post or ugly filled nail holes.
The Zipbolt 13.960 Angled Slipfix Railbolt is the sister product to the Zipbolt 11.560 Angled Railbolt. This connector is specifically designed for joining a handrail to a post at an acute angle (upstairs joint). The angled shaft is pre-installed into the rail (with a slight protrusion) and then is inserted into the fitted keyhole disc in the post. Once the connection is made, the Zipbolt gear drive system tightens the assembly using a 5mm hex bit or Allen key, and provides the user with a perfect joint.
