The Valley Panther ZD-X
5-Bolt Rail System
Valley debuts a new 5-bolt rail system on the Panther series tables. By using
additional mounting points
In addition, the rails are now secured with threaded inserts instead of T-nuts. This
eliminates the small dead spots some players noticed at the rail bolt attachment
points, makes the rails less susceptible to breakage and cross-threading, makes
the rails easier to repair if an insert should require replacement, but most
importantly, the solid mounting surface allows the D&R/Championship Dual
Density rubber to perform at its best. The Dual Density rubber is engineered for a
combination of long life and consistent action. Balls will rebound to the same spot
every time, for a long time.
Use a flathead screwdriver or 3/8‖ wrench to remove or install the rails
The recommended torque spec is 65 inch pounds.
Use a 6mm Allen/Hex key to remove the threaded inserts from the rails
Panther 5-bolt rails mean the death of the dead spot!
