Hello, and welcome to 80/20's product highlight series. Today we're going to take a look at the pivot plates. This connector allows bars to be positioned at various angles. They're easy to install, require no machining, and are available in both fractional and metric. Now one thing you're going to want to keep in mind with the pivot plate, is that it's a stand alone part, and bolt assemblies will be required to install it. More information on 80/20's bolt assemblies can be found in the 80/20 product catalog.

Now when it comes to installing the pivot plate, the first thing you're going to want to do is preload your hardware. Preloading not only makes it easier to install your plates, but also saves time during assembly. Now to finish up, I'm going to put one last bolt and one last Tnut into this plate. Now it's important when you're using your Tnuts to have pilot projections facing downwards, or away from the plate. Get that preloaded on there, we'll take our bar, slide the plate on.

Now we'll hold that into place, and grab our other bar, and line up the center holes. Once we have those lined up, we'll take our center bolts, one by one, and feed them through. We'll get that one on there with a hex nut, we'll handtighten it down, and we'll do the same thing on the back. We'll get a bolt, feed it through, get a hex nut on it and handtighten it down as well. Now once you've got those on there, we'll go back to that plate we put on, and tighten it down the rest of the way. Once we've got that secure, the last thing we've got to do is find our desired angle we want. That looks just about right, we'll take our other wrench, and tighten down those center bolts. We'll get that in there for a secure connection.

Now hopefully you have found this segment on the pivot plate helpful. For more information visit 8020.net and make sure to subscribe to future 80/20 videos. And as always, make it a great day.
