Source for snap button tubing connectors (telescoping tubing connectors)
is:
McMaster-Carr
9630 Norwalk Boulevard
Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670-2932
562-692-5911
www.mcmaster.com
Catalog flurb:
Designed to assemble telescoping tubes, these snap buttons eliminate the
need for rivets and screws, simplifying assembly of your material. They
fit round as well as square tubing and quickly, easily snap in place.
Made of zinc-plated heat-treated spring steel.
Some part numbers:
Single button-spring leg
94282A110 for tubing 0.45"-0.87" dia.
94282A130 for tubing 0.50"-1.25" dia.
94282A150 for tubing 0.59"-1.25" dia.
94282A170 for tubing 0.68"-1.37" dia.
Sold in packages of 10 each, price from $4.70-$6.90 per package.
Also available in "dog leg" spring style and double button (punch one of
the part numbers in on the search window of the web page).
Interesting company, catalog is 3" thick, and they claim 98% of products
ordered ship from stock. We use them all the time at work, (from tools
to packing foam, we manage to order something almost every day...) and
have yet to bump into anything they didn't have in stock at the time we
ordered... Great company, they know who we are when they pick up the
phone and almost all orders usually ship same day, and no, I don't own
any stock in them...
Hope that helps, and would you be kind enough to aim me in the right
direction to find the "list"? I'm working with scouts and some of this
could be really useful as a project, not to mention for my own personal
use...
Thanks,
Robert Kidd
