In steel construction, especially with Hollow Structural Sections (HSS), the complexity of connections has long been a barrier to efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Enter Shuriken-an innovative, one-time-use wrench and internal connection device that dramatically simplifies HSS bolting and splicing. Developed by Atlas Tube, Shuriken is not just a new tool-it’s a paradigm shift in how we approach steel connections.

What is Shuriken?

Shuriken is a patented, internal connection solution designed specifically for HSS that functions as a one-time-use wrench, enabling secure bolting from only one side. Unlike traditional connection methods that require dual-side access, complex welding or custom plates, Shuriken simplifies installation-making it ideal for tight, restricted or inaccessible areas while also ensuring faster assembly, lower costs and easier inspection in the field.

How Does Shuriken Work?

The installation process is engineered for simplicity and speed:

1. Shop Fabrication: The Shuriken device is tack-welded to a metal plate in the fabrication shop and attached inside one of the HSS members.

2. Field Installation: On-site, the second member is simply bolted to the fixed plate using Shuriken, with no need for internal access or external through-plates.This results in:

• Faster assembly

• Fewer alignment issues

• Reduced labor and welding costs

Key Benefits of Shuriken

• One-Sided Bolting

The one-time-use wrench mechanism allows for secure bolting from a single accessible side-ideal for confined or architecturally complex conditions.

• Cleaner Aesthetics

By moving the connection inside the tube, Shuriken eliminates bulky gussets, external plates, and visible welds- perfect for Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel (AESS).

• Faster Construction

Speed up field work by simplifying connections- less welding, less alignment and fewer delays.

• Cost-Effective HSS Use

Shuriken helps reduce the total cost of using HSS, which has traditionally been higher due to complicated connections.

• Easy Inspections

Bolted connections made with Shuriken are easier to inspect and verify in the field compared to complex welds in tight spaces.

Where Can Shuriken Be Used?

While Shuriken was originally developed for HSS splices, its application has expanded across a range of steel connection challenges:

• HSS-to-HSS connections

• SpeedCore structures

• Tight or inaccessible areas

• Pedestrian bridges

• AESS or visually exposed steelwork

Why It Matters to the Industry?

With the demand for faster, leaner and more efficient construction methods, Shuriken provides a smart solution that:

• Reduces total fabrication and erection costs

• Makes HSS a more viable option in both architectural and structural applications

• Increases project scalability and speed

Ready to Rethink Your HSS Connections?

Whether you’re an engineer designing trusses, a fabricator looking to reduce shop time or a contractor managing fast-track projects-Shuriken makes your job easier, faster and smarter.

The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way. When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane. Pityful a rethoric question ran over her cheek, then she continued her way. On her way she met a copy. The copy warned the Little Blind Text, that where it came from it would have been rewritten a thousand times and everything that was left from its origin would be the word “and” and the Little Blind Text should turn around and return to its own, safe country. But nothing the copy said could convince her and so it didn’t take long until a few insidious Copy Writers ambushed her.
