The Rafix Tab 20 S fitting is used to install wooden and metal shelves in furniture. This connector also has an integrated safety function to prevent the shelves from tipping and lifting. The connecting bolt engages vertically and horizontally and therefore secures the shelf. Unintentional tilting and removing of the shelf, e.g. when pulling out heavy items, is therefore effectively prevented.

Connector for the installation of shelves without tools.

Because of the 90° rotation, the plastic sleeve expands in the 10 mm drill hole and provides a secure and permanent connection. It is therefore particularly suitable for quick and easy shelf installation.
