Finish & Materials

Built for durability. Designed to be seen.

Connext structural connectors are manufactured from 6061 aluminum and finished in a durable black e-coat.

E-coating provides a consistent, uniform finish with strong corrosion and chip resistance while maintaining the clean architectural appearance Connext is known for.

The process uses a water-based coating system and is widely used in demanding applications where long-term metal protection matters.

Fasteners

The right fasteners are included with your connectors.

Connext connectors are engineered as a system, including the appropriate fasteners for the intended application.

We primarily use GRK structural screws for wood connections and approved concrete fasteners for post-to-base applications where required.

Fastener requirements vary by connector size and application, so always refer to the product drawings and engineering specifications for the specific connector being installed.

GRK RSS 5/16 x 5-1/8”

GRK RSS 5/16 x 3-1/2”

GRK Caliburn Concrete 19/64 x 5”

GRK Caliburn 19/64 x 3.5”

Custom Connectors

Need a size or angle that isn’t part of our standard lineup?

Connext can manufacture custom connectors for select projects, including:

  • Custom timber dimensions

  • Non-standard rectangular sizes

  • Custom diagonal angles

Custom orders typically require a 4–6 week lead time and may include additional engineering or setup costs.

Contact our team to discuss your project and determine whether a custom connector is the right solution.
