Tube connectors with grub screws

Our stainless steel tube connectors are used for secure and stable connection of the stainless steel frames. The integrated grub screws ensure a firm hold and a reliable construction.

To ensure a permanently secure connection, the grub screws should be regularly checked for tightness and retightened if necessary.

Note:

If the stainless steel connectors repeatedly come loose despite regular retightening, this may indicate an unsuitable mesh size of the hay net.

If the mesh size is not optimally adjusted to the horse's feeding behavior or the structure of the hay, strong pulling and tugging on the hay net can occur. The resulting forces are transferred to the frame and can cause the screws to loosen.

In this case, we recommend adjusting the mesh size to your horse's individual feeding behavior. An appropriate mesh size promotes calm and horse-friendly feed intake. Eating too coarsely can lead to long-term health disadvantages and also significantly increases the wear and tear of the hay net.

Aluminum Chew Guard

The aluminum chew guard reliably protects your hay box from gnawing, thus extending its lifespan. The set consists of 8 aluminum strips including suitable screws and is compatible with our standard hay box as well as the flat hay box.

The aluminum strips are mounted on the particularly exposed edges and offer effective protection against damage from gnawing on the box.

Note:
After mounting, we recommend slightly rounding the edges of the aluminum strips. This prevents sharp edges and minimizes the risk of injury. An old hoof rasp, for example, is suitable for rounding.
