Unlike budget-friendly zinc-alloy fittings that tend to crack over time, this socket features a seamless one-piece construction with a load capacity of 66 lbs (30 kg) when mounted on wooden studs—easily supporting daily items such as towels, casual clothing, or kitchen utensils. Its satin-brushed finish hides minor daily scratches (surface roughness: Ra 1.6μm), making it ideal for high-traffic areas like family bathrooms or rental property closets. The product comes with a full set of installation hardware (screws, washers), eliminating the need for extra trips to hardware stores and greatly simplifying DIY installation.
• Material: 304 stainless steel (18% chromium, 8% nickel; compliant with EN 10088-2)
• Tube Compatibility: Exclusively for 25mm outer-diameter round tubes (tolerance: ±0.1mm)
• Load Capacity: Up to 66 lbs (30 kg) (wood studs); 44 lbs (20 kg) (drywall with included anchors)
• Dimensions: (L) 40mm × (W) 30mm × (H) 22mm (compact to fit narrow spaces)
• Finish: Satin-brushed stainless steel (4-step abrasive process; Ra 1.6μm)
• Testing: Passes 200-hour salt spray testing (ISO 9227); no rust in 65% relative humidity
• Installation Type: End-feed design (requires lead-free flux for watertight plumbing use)
• Included Hardware: #8 × 1.25" 304 stainless steel screws (2 per socket) + plastic drywall anchors (rated 44 lbs)
• Everyday Corrosion Resistance: 304 stainless steel resists rust in dry to moderately humid environments (e.g., bedrooms, living rooms, and well-ventilated bathrooms). Its service life is over 10 years longer than plastic fittings, and it maintains stable performance with minimal daily maintenance.
• Scratch-Hiding Satin Finish: The brushed texture (Ra 1.6μm) conceals minor scratches from daily use (e.g., hangers, cleaning tools), maintaining a neat appearance in rental properties or family homes.
• Easy End-Feed Installation: For plumbing applications (e.g., under-sink pipes), the end-feed design allows quick soldering with standard propane torches—follow BS EN 1057 standards for leak-free joints. No specialized tools needed for non-plumbing use (e.g., closet rods).
• Cost-Effective Durability: Priced 40% lower than 316L stainless steel alternatives while offering 2× the lifespan of zinc-alloy fittings. It’s a budget-friendly choice for landlords or homeowners.
• Versatile Mounting: Works on wood, drywall, or plaster surfaces. The pre-drilled 5mm holes align with standard 16" or 24" wall studs, simplifying alignment for DIYers.
• Chemically Resistant: Withstands mild cleaning agents (dish soap, glass cleaner) without discoloration—safe for kitchen or bathroom installations near sinks.
Perfect for everyday use across residential and light commercial spaces:
• Residential Bathrooms: 25mm towel bars (holds 2-3 large towels), shower curtain rods (well-ventilated enclosures).Support for under-sink pipes (lead-free flux is required to achieve waterproofing)
• Bedroom Closets: End supports for 25mm hanging rails (suitable for hanging daily clothing and seasonal garments) and accessory racks (scarves, belts).
• Light Commercial: Café counter condiment racks, office partition hanging storage racks for partitions (e.g., document bags, plant hangers), and small retail display shelves (e.g., jewelry, phone cases).
• DIY Projects: Garage storage racks for gardening tools, custom bookshelves with 25mm tube supports, and laundry room drying racks.
Q: Do I need to solder this socket for closet rod installation?
A: No—soldering is only required for plumbing use (e.g., water pipes). For closet rods or towel bars, simply secure the socket to the wall with the included screws, then slide the 25mm tube into place. For extra stability, add a drop of rubber adhesive to the tube end.
Q: Will this rust in a bathroom with no exhaust fan?
A: In poorly ventilated bathrooms, prolonged steam exposure may cause minor spotting over time. To prevent this, wipe the socket dry after showers and apply a stainless steel protector spray (e.g., 3M Stainless Steel Polish) every 3 months.
Q: What’s the maximum tube length it can support as an end socket?
A: For 25mm aluminum tubes, it supports spans up to 1.5m (5ft) without sagging. For longer spans (1.5m+), pair it with 25mm Stainless Steel Centre Brackets (sold separately) to maintain the 66 lbs load capacity.
Q: Can I paint this socket to match my wall color?
A: Yes—use a high-adhesion spray paint for metal (e.g., Rust-Oleum Stops Rust). First, clean the socket with isopropyl alcohol, lightly sand the satin finish with 400-grit sandpaper, and apply 2-3 thin coats. Allow 30 minutes of drying time between coats.
