TOP60 hat connector for 60 mm diameter tubes (C13)

The essential solution for foundation adjustments

In professional ground screw installations, site conditions sometimes require modifications to the hardware. The TOP60 connector is a versatile structural accessory designed to provide a secure mounting point in two primary scenarios:

1. Restoring a cut screw: If a foundation screw becomes blocked by a rock or underground obstacle and needs to be cut to height, the TOP60 acts as a replacement head, sliding over the remaining pipe to restore the mounting interface.

2. Extension systems: When using a 60 mm extension tube to reach deeper load-bearing soil, the TOP60 is placed at the summit of the extension. This allows for the subsequent attachment of various bracket types or support plates (creating a Connect 60 - Tube 60 - Top 60 configuration).

Robust structural integrity
Built to handle heavy-duty applications, this connector ensures that the transition between the underground foundation and the above-ground structure is perfectly stable. The triple-bolt fastening system ensures that the connector is locked tightly to the tube, preventing any rotation or vertical movement.

Key advantages:

• High load capacity: Capable of supporting up to 2,500 kg, making it suitable for large timber terraces and heavy outdoor structures.

• Versatile repair tool: Saves time and material costs by allowing the use of cut or modified foundation screws.

• Simple installation: Slides directly over 60 mm tubes and locks quickly into place with standard M12 hardware.

• Durable steel build: Engineered for long-term outdoor use and structural safety.

• Height: 68 mm

• Weight: 2 kg

• Maximum load: 2,500 kg

• Fastening hardware: Requires 3 x M12 screws (sold separately)

• Material: High-grade structural steel

Installation tips

• Precision cutting: If you are cutting a foundation screw, ensure the cut is horizontal and clean. Remove any burrs from the edge of the 60 mm tube before sliding the TOP60 "hat" into place.

• Secure fastening: Tighten the three M12 bolts evenly to ensure the connector is perfectly centered and locked onto the tube.

• Compatibility: This connector is specifically designed for tubes with an outer diameter of 60 mm. Always verify the diameter of your foundation screw or extension before purchase.

• Leveling: Use a spirit level on the top surface of the TOP60 before fully tightening the bolts to ensure your foundation platform starts on a perfectly horizontal plane.

Note: This connector is an interface component. Ensure you have the appropriate bracket or plate to attach your timber joists to the top of this unit.
