Flat End Fixing Sockets are designed for quick and easy connection of precast units with generous placement tolerances. These sockets should only be used where on site fixing tolerances are sufficiently flexible. The socket is manufactured from either high grade precision steel tube with a zinc plated finish, or a stainless steel grade A2 tube (Grade 304). The socket is supplied with a flat end with a punched hole to accommodate additional reinforcement. Please note that additional anchorage reinforcement does not increase the maximum safe working load of the socket.
