ASM_Rail_Mount_Kit_V1: Step-by-Step Guide

Learn how to assemble T-slotted rails using T-nuts, L brackets, and aluminum rail brackets. Follow this step-by-step guide for proper installation and tightening of hardware.

By Rhonda Chisholm

In this guide, we'll learn how to assemble a structure using T-nuts, rails, and brackets. This process involves joining T-nuts to inserts, mounting brackets, and securing all parts with a wrench.

These steps help ensure the frame is stable and all components are properly aligned.

Let's get started

1
Pull all the components
2
Take the smaller T-nuts and place them into the black inserts, keeping them compressed. Insert all three into each rail.

3
Insert the larger T-nuts into the larger series 15 T-slotted rail. Insert three of the T-nut assemblies into the track of one of the rails.
Repeat the process for the second rail.
Step #3: Insert the larger T-nuts into the larger series 15 T-slotted rail. Insert three of the T-nut assemblies into the track of one of the rails. Repeat the process for the second rail.

4
Mount the L bracket onto the larger rail.
Place the L-bracket on top of the larger rail.
Insert a T-nut into the rail's channel through the first slot of the L-bracket.
Insert the second T-nut into the other channel through the second slot of the L-bracket.
Step #4: Mount the L bracket onto the larger rail. Place the L-bracket on top of the larger rail.Insert a T-nut into the rail's channel through the first slot of the L-bracket.Insert the second T-nut into the other channel through the second slot of the L-bracket.

5
Mount aluminum rail bracket to the larger rail.
Slide the small rails into place and fasten them.
Place the aluminum rail bracket on top of the larger rail.
Step #5: Mount aluminum rail bracket to the larger rail.Slide the small rails into place and fasten them. Place the aluminum rail bracket on top of the larger rail.

6
Insert the first screw into the rail bracket.
Hand-tighten the first screw.
Insert and hand-tighten the second screw into the rail bracket.
Step #6: Insert the first screw into the rail bracket.Hand-tighten the first screw.Insert and hand-tighten the second screw into the rail bracket.
7
slide the small rails into place and fasten.
Slide the first small rail into the groove of the main assembly.
Tighten all the hardware with a 10-millimeter wrench.
Step #7: slide the small rails into place and fasten.Slide the first small rail into the groove of the main assembly.Tighten all the hardware with a 10-millimeter wrench.
8
Re-insert and hand-tighten the bolt to secure the rail.
Step #8: Re-insert and hand-tighten the bolt to secure the rail.
9
Slide the second small rail into the parallel groove on the main assembly.
Step #9: Slide the second small rail into the parallel groove on the main assembly.
10
Tighten all the hardware with the 10 millimeter wrench.
Step #10: Tighten all the hardware with the 10 millimeter wrench.
