Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Review the included plans to determine the desired dimensions for your workbench or shelving unit.
- Cut lumber to the required lengths according to the plans.
- Position the Rigid Tie RTC2Z connectors at the designated points where lumber pieces will join.
- Secure the connectors using the provided Simpson Strong-Tie #8 x 1-1/4 in. Wafer-Head screws. Ensure screws are driven straight and fully seated.
Compatibility:
This kit is designed to work with standard dimensional lumber (not included). The RTC2Z connectors are engineered for specific wood-to-wood connections, forming strong corner joints. Ensure your lumber is dry and properly dimensioned for optimal fastener grip.
Care:
- The ZMAX galvanization offers excellent corrosion resistance.
- Periodically inspect the assembled unit for any signs of wear or loosening of fasteners.
- Clean the unit with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanized coating.
