How It Compares
Compared With Flat mending plates
A mending plate cannot take a load that comes in at right angles from a third member; the T plate can.
Use Guide
- Set the long arm along the continuous member and the short arm on the incoming rail.
- Use screws short enough not to break through the back face of a 19 mm rail.
