T-Shaped Connections
Join a vertical post to a horizontal post to create a rigid T-shaped frame connection.
The Steel T-Connector for Aluminum Posts creates a strong concealed 90° connection between compatible Alumission post profiles. It can form a T-shaped post connection or a clean corner for sliding-gate frames, fully framed swing gates, and aluminum fence assemblies.
The 1.250″ square connector slides inside the post cavity so the joint remains clean and the connection hardware stays concealed. The connector body is steel with a black powder-coated finish, and the included 3/8″ diameter × 3″ socket-head bolt is stainless steel.
The square steel connector fits inside the aluminum post cavity and joins the intersecting post at 90°, keeping the main structural connection inside the profiles.
Join a vertical post to a horizontal post to create a rigid T-shaped frame connection.
Use the same concealed connector arrangement to form 90° frame corners for sliding gates, fully framed gates, and fence assemblies.
The 1.250″ square connector is designed to fit the internal cavity used across Alumission aluminum post profiles.
The connector and primary bolt remain inside the assembled profiles, eliminating the need for a large visible exterior corner bracket.
The connector combines a black powder-coated steel body with a stainless steel socket-head bolt for a secure, serviceable connection.
The steel connector body is powder coated black for a finished surface inside the aluminum post assembly.
One 3/8″ diameter × 3″ stainless steel socket-head bolt and washer are included with the connector.
The intended bolted installation connects the posts mechanically without welding the aluminum profiles.
Dry-fit and square the profiles before tightening the bolt and any project-specific retaining fasteners.
Included: One black powder-coated steel T-connector with one 3/8″ diameter × 3″ stainless steel socket-head bolt and washer.
Sold separately: Alumission aluminum posts and profiles, post covers or caps, and any project-specific retaining screws or additional hardware shown only for installation context.
Review the connector dimensions, steel construction, stainless steel hardware, compatibility, and concealed 90° installation arrangement.
Dry-fit the connector and both aluminum profiles before drilling or final tightening. Keep the adjoining posts square and aligned. Final connection strength depends on the post configuration, fastener engagement, installation quality, gate dimensions, wind exposure, and project loads.

It creates a concealed 90° connection between Alumission aluminum posts. It can form a T-shaped joint or a corner in a fully framed assembly.
It is designed to fit the compatible 1-1/4″ internal post cavity used across Alumission aluminum post profiles. Confirm the receiving cavity is clear before installation.
Yes. It can connect post profiles at 90° when building or extending a fully framed sliding-gate assembly.
Yes. It can form concealed corners in fully framed swing gates and aluminum fence-frame assemblies.
No. The connector body is steel and is powder coated black. It is designed to fit inside Alumission aluminum posts.
The main connector and bolt are concealed inside the joined profiles, producing a cleaner finished frame.
The connector is 1.250″ square with a 6.130″ drawing length, 0.125″ wall thickness, and a 0.375″ internal steel block.
One 3/8″ diameter × 3″ stainless steel socket-head bolt and washer are included.
No. The connector is intended for a bolted internal connection, so welding the aluminum profiles is not required.
Slide the connector into the receiving post cavity, align the intersecting aluminum post at 90°, install the included bolt through the prepared connection, square the assembly, and tighten it securely.
Yes. A T-shaped connection between a vertical and horizontal Alumission post is one of its primary uses.
The connector includes the stainless steel bolt and washer. Any project-specific retaining screws or other hardware must be ordered separately unless specifically shown as included.
