Anybody have a link to HD, Lowes or Amazon for these connectors or kits to use pieces individually? How top heavy is this setup using all 3 pieces?

It gets tiring after a short time, because the top end is awkward. I'm going to make a brace to use with it, to keep the pressure off my arms.

It is top heavy but I did my 17 foot house wall without getting on a ladder . I am 63. You do need a short angle connector. (Which i got from lowes. But I also bought a turbo end nozzle. ..from amazon but I could get all my mold off with out chemicals. ..

you can use one or two or three.... depending on how far you want to reach... all together they are not all that heavy.... for the first 5 minutes or so.... then they get heavier by the minute.... but I guess that depends on your age and physical strength... LOL.....

Mine connected securely, also in 3 pieces, all the same size. I would experiment with turning them upside down to see if you get a secure fit.

I went to a GOOD (Lots of inventory) Ace hardware store (Not a Lowes or Home Depot) that had all of the adapters. I found all of the fittings to make it work. Home Depot and Lowes only have a small number of fittings that small. One one of the fittings I had to use the white Teflon tape to reduce the leakage -- but it worked fine.

No you will have to supply your own connectors. Amazon has great prices on these...

I am not sure. I sent mine back. I was a little frustrated with the lack of clear directions on the wiring diagram. It also didn't help when one piece had TWO RED wires, so which one to use??? I was hoping for something much easier to install, this kit was not it. I'm sure a professional installer would have no problem with this kit however.

Comes with all three pieces: 2 quick connects and the leveler leg plus installation hardware. You will need to drill into the ladder to install the quick connects.

I used 3 50lb drywall anchors. The 4th mounting hole lined up with a wall stud. I got them at my local hardware store. Hope this helps.

I agree with those who've said you would need a connector to stack 2 sets of these shelves. It would be worth ordering and then with a handy person to advise you, go get 4 connectors at your local hardward store. These are reasonably priced for how sturdy and solid they are- great quality.

you can go to any hardware store and pick up wire end connectors , they have to be slim though. I would recommend that you take the unit with you. You will need a solder gun also.

I would recommend pin connectors. As mentioned in some of the reviews, the openings for each of the cable terminations are quite small. I ultimately had to remove approximately 40% of the strands, solder and then pinch the wire flat to be able to fit them into each of the holes. If I had pin connectors this would have likely have been a better way to go. Have not had a chance to provide feedback yet but this was a very painful exercise and I will reflect this in my summary. Other than this the unit seems fine.

At this moment I have probably 30 LBS of tools on the top shelf, 2 HD Marine batterys (40 LBS) on the middle shelf and chain hoist and a come-a-long on the bottom shelf. The only thing I did to this out of the box was I used pvc cleaner and glue to glue the connector tubes to the trays. The only thing I see wearing out on this down the road is the caster wheels, but they can be replaced when the time comes.

Thanks a ton. Very helpful. In your opinion, is this worth a DIY adventure or is there not much to be saved in calling someone to setup?

I used two of the 3WARE Cable, 1 Unit Of 1 Meter Multi-lane Internal (SFF-8087) Serial Ata Breakout cables sold on amazon's site. They keep your cabling neat and have plenty of length to easily plug in hard drives in the largest case sizes. Hope this helps.

Had a hard time finding them myself. Here's the site that I found but they only sell the whole kit. http://www.summerinfant.com/hardwarekit0706007970

This item comes with instructions on how to connect. Connections depend on using it single pole or 3 way. I suggest that you find and follow those instructions. Hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure the only way to get the components for this is through the On Stage web site. I think you can only order component sets, not individual pieces, but if you call them they should be able to help you. Otherwise, eBay occasionally has some.

I used 16ga. Speaker wire that came on a reel. I did not use any connectors just plains ends connected to speaker and receiver. Works great.
