How to Install the B998 Trap-Eze™ C-Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the B998 Trap-Eze™ C-Connector onto a threaded rod trapeze system.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wrench

Supplies needed:

Trapnut® Strut Fasteners, Trap-Eze™ C-Connectors, Strut

  1. Install Trapnut® Strut Fasteners

    Attach two Trapnut® Strut Fasteners to the threaded rod of the trapeze. Ensure they are positioned to allow the Trap-Eze™ C-Connector to fit securely.

  2. Position the C-Connector

    Maneuver the Trap-Eze™ C-Connector onto the threaded rod and turn the top Trapnut® Strut Fastener downward until it is snug against the C-Connector, leaving no more than a 1/2” gap above it.

  3. Secure the Strut

    Cut the strut to be 5/8” to 1-1/4” shorter than the center-to-center distance between the rods. Place the strut sideways in the Trap-Eze™ C-Connectors to secure the assembly, ensuring the ends of the strut are visible through the limit bars.
