T-Fittings — Kite Frame T-Connectors
Injection-molded T-fitting — the three-way connector for kite frame builds where a spar meets another spar at a T-junction. Available in four size combinations, all with a 3mm spine rod channel and cross spar sizes from 4mm to 8mm.
Available sizes (spine rod × spreader tube):
- 3mm × 4mm
- 3mm × 5mm
- 3mm × 6mm
- 3mm × 8mm
Why T-fittings?
- Precision injection-molded for consistent fit and repeatable assembly
- Three-way design locks spine and spreader at 90° for clean, rigid T-joins
- Lightweight (5–8g) — adds negligible weight to the frame
- Compatible with Exel pultruded carbon rods (3mm) and carbon or fiberglass tubes
Common uses: Spine-to-spreader connectors, cellular kites, box kite frame junctions, standoffs, and scratch-built kite frame assembly.
