Middle Atlantic DRIFT PR.DRIFT PINS FOR GANGING

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic DRIFT Pins are a two-piece precision alignment tool for ganging multiple AV racks together. These metal pins align adjacent rack frames so that their front edges are perfectly flush before permanent fastening, preventing the sag and misalignment that can occur when heavy metal rack enclosures are joined without mechanical guidance. The DRIFT pins are a simple but important accessory for professional multi-rack installations.

Product Description

The DRIFT Pin set from Middle Atlantic Products consists of two tapered metal pins used during the ganging process of joining multiple rack enclosures side by side. When large, heavy racks are pushed together, the weight of the metal frames tends to cause sagging and offset at the connection point, making it difficult to achieve flush, aligned front panels. The DRIFT pins are inserted into corresponding holes at the rack frame joint, acting as mechanical guides that force the two frames into exact alignment before and during the fastening process. This ensures that rack rail positions remain consistent across multiple enclosures, which is essential for smooth equipment insertion and a clean finished appearance. The two-piece set provides the redundant alignment needed for top and bottom of the rack joint. DRIFT pins are a standard accessory used by professional AV integrators during rack ganging on Middle Atlantic rack systems. Using drift pins eliminates the need for repositioning racks after fastening, saving installation time and preventing frame damage from repeated adjustments.
