Shadow Rail™ Connector - Level


ELEGANCE: STANDING OUT FROM THE ALTERNATIVES

When your craftsmanship is on display, use the slim, elegant Shadow Rail and your deck will stand out above all the rest.


Why have a bigger, more visible bracket with fasteners showing when you can get rid of all that excess material?  Apply a dark stain or paint over the Shadow Rail and it looks like the 2x4 rail is "growing" right out of the post.

TOUGHNESS: EXTREME PERFORMANCE

The Shadow Rail Connector is made of the highest quality USA polycarbonate.  This means you have a connector that can handle the UV rays and extreme temperatures that Mother Nature regularly dishes out.


The Shadow Rail Connector is all about precision.  It has been designed by Titan's sharpest engineering minds for tolerances of up to 1/10,000 of an inch. 


Although you will never know the level of precision just by looking at them, you sure will feel it when you slide the connectors together.  There's lots of play at the start to allow the parts to catch and align.  Then it just gets tighter and tighter until you feel it lock.  

Shadow Rail™ Connector- Level
Wet Post Shrunk

WARNING:

Allow wet posts to dry and acclimate to local humidity before cutting 2x4 rails to length.  Larger (6x6) wet posts, in particular, can shrink up to ¼” and this can cause the connectors and/or the 2x4s to pull apart.   



Andrew used our white Level and Stair Shadow Rail Connectors to pair perfectly with his lakeside deck and composite post sleeves.


Made from durable UV protected USA poly carbonate, they will not only handle the extreme weather from season to season but they conceal the screws inside the connectors for a truly professional appearance.

Excellent quality easy to install

This piece of the installation really made the railing installation very simple, and the quality of the connection to the posts really added to the strength and durability as well as the beauty of the installation

simple, effective and quick

Used these connectors to raise my railing top rail. The connectors were easy to use and install. I recommend using two people when installing on a long span (>8'). Longer than that, the system can begin to jam. Also be exact in measuring, too short is not good, too long is just as bad (except you can recut the lumber)
