Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a fast clamping bolt to connect U-squares?
No. Siegmund says the Fast Clamping Bolt 280511 must not be used for connecting tables and U-shaped squares. Use a connecting bolt such as this Connecting Bolt XL, which Siegmund lists for a fixed long-term connection of tables and U-squares.
Can I use it in an elongated hole or an aluminum profile?
No. Siegmund says the Connecting Bolt XL is not suitable for elongated holes and not suitable for aluminum profiles. The Connecting Bolt with Collar (280583 to 280585) is suitable for elongated holes.
What tools does it take?
Siegmund lists a hexagon socket (size 10) and an external hexagon (size 32). The listed tightening torque in steel is 420 Nm.
Does it work with Premium Light U-squares?
Siegmund names a different bolt for those: its Premium Light U-square pages say riser blocks are mounted to the table using connector bolts (Item No. 800562), not 280563.
