Trapeze retrofit system

The Kindorf Trap-Eze connector allows new trapeze sections to be installed directly above, or to the side of, an existing assembly without disturbing the original unit. Used as a system, the Kindorf Trap-Eze connector and Kindorf Trapnut strut fastener delivers, on average, 43% time savings on retrofit applications compared to standard trapeze systems using nuts and washers. Designed for use with various lengths of strut that can vary by as much as an inch, the product incorporates a visual guide or view window that allows a safety zone for strut length, enabling rough cutting of struts.
