Universal Pin Connector (UPC)
CAST CONNEX Universal Pin Connectors are sleek, clevis-type standardized fittings designed to connect to hollow structural section (HSS) elements for use in architecturally exposed structural steel (AESS) applications.
Architectural Taper (ART)
CAST CONNEX Architectural Tapers are hollowed, cast structural steel conical tapers designed to connect to hollow structural section (HSS) elements for use in architecturally exposed structural steel (AESS) applications.
Architectural Taper + Universal Pin Connector (ART + UPC)
When used together, CAST CONNEX Architectural Tapers™ and CAST CONNEX Universal Pin Connectors™ lend a slender appearance to columns, braces, struts, or other structural members. The end condition also enables the use of a smaller-sized Universal Pin Connector than would otherwise fit the structural member.
Diablo Bolted Splice (DBS)
CAST CONNEX Diablo™ Bolted Splices are cast steel fittings that enable unobtrusive field bolted splices in circular hollow structural section (HSS) members.
Custom Castings
The geometric freedom afforded through casting manufacturing can be leveraged to solve a wide range of constructional challenges and to provide substantial value to every project stakeholder.
The freeform capabilities of castings provide opportunities for:
Material optimization
Enhanced strength and stiffness
Improved fatigue life
Simplified fabrication
Improved constructability
Superior aesthetics
For each custom project, we work closely with the design and construction teams to coordinate project performance requirements and provide a rigorous engineering report and other submittals to verify requirements have been met.
Our areas of expertise include:
Casting engineering and detailing
Steel connection design
Steel casting manufacturing
Non-destructive examination
Industrial design and 3D modeling
Finite element stress analysis
Structural testing
