| FAQ DIAMETER D48.
The most frequently asked questions are listed in our mini faq for diameter D48.
What does size D48 (48.3mm) mean?
This is the external diameter of the tube recommended for optimal use of the fitting. Therefore, the D48 fittings are designed for tubes with an external diameter of 48.3mm. This allows the screw to attach well to the wall of the tube. The authorized external diameters must be between 47 and 49mm.
My tube is not 48.3mm?
The permitted external tube diameters must be between 47 and 49mm for correct fixation. If your tube is not within this margin, the screw may not contact the wall correctly.
How many cm do the fittings fit on the tube?
D48 fittings cover the tube by an average of 4.0cm, this may differ a little depending on the fitting model. Refer to the technical diagram available on each connection page, below the product description.
How much spacing between 2 vertical posts?
It depends on the type of tubes used as well as the thickness. As a precaution, we recommend reinforcement every 200cm** (2.0m) with the EN 10255 48.3mm (3.2mm) galvanized steel tube. This allows the tube to maintain its load capacity in a horizontal position.
How to attach the fittings to the tube?
To attach the fittings to the tube, simply use a suitable allen key and screw. For professional use on the pass-through contact, you will need to use a ratchet wrench and set a torque of 40Nm*.
Can aluminum tubes rust?
No, the aluminum tube sold on our site does not rust.
How do aluminum tubes age over time?
The aluminum tube will maintain a uniform appearance indoors and tarnish a little outdoors over time.
Are screws included on the fittings?
Yes, all our fittings are delivered with their screws to fix them on the tube. However, the fixings for attaching the connector to a support such as wood, metal, concrete, etc. are not included. We offer the additional sale of individual screws in case you have lost, damaged or wish to replace them. You also have the option of purchasing security screws against vandalism.
