Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
The ball tee is the workhorse junction of a 700 Series ball-fitting rail, handling branch connections at posts or intersecting rails. Align all three tubes fully into the ball before driving the six screws, working opposite screws to keep the fitting centered. Match tube diameter and polished finish across all fittings in the run.
Railing fittings are structural components; verify the completed assembly meets local building code load and guardrail requirements before use.
Add the Lavi Industries 700 Series ball tee to build reliable three-way joints in your stainless railing.
