Characteristics
Special quality control is
unnecessary .
High and stable quality of Joints
Cuttings and welding of square-shaped steel
pipe are unnecessary.
Reduce labor of
steel frame fabrication
Because there is no bracket,
transportation efficiency is obtained

Simplification of joint design

Standardization of joint details
