I'm not sure I would count on that keeping them from rotating. Regardless of them being glued together and having loctite on the bolts, each leg is an axis that is held by a single bolt at each end along that axis. What keeps the bolt and leg from spinning in the hole in the end connector? I wouldn't rely on friction, and any loctite in that hole won't cut the kind of moment induced from swinging a 9 pound tetra.
