Product Description
Overview
The KPC-016 Pipe Clamp Corner is a bolt-on malleable iron fitting for 42.4 mm OD, 1-1/4" Sch. 40 pipe. It joins three pipes at one intersection for box frames, railings, and structural corners, using stainless steel hex screws to lock the pipe without welding so frames, rails, and structures can be assembled or reconfigured on site.
Why It Matters
A corner fitting is where a pipe frame either feels square or starts to fight the installer. This fitting gives the three meeting pipes a defined junction while keeping the structure bolt-on and serviceable.
Key Features
- Three-pipe corner geometry gives box frames and railing corners a compact structural intersection.
- Malleable iron casting per ASTM A197 gives the fitting a durable body for tubular structures.
- ASTM A153 hot dip galvanized treatment plus zinc plating supports corrosion resistance in real installation environments.
- Stainless steel hex screws lock the pipe firmly with no welding required.
Applications
Built for box frames, railing corners, display structures, scenic cubes, guardrail runs, and temporary pipe builds that need three members to meet at one point.
Compatibility
Fits 42.4 mm OD, 1-1/4" Sch. 40 pipe; related sister fittings cover the alternate KUPO pipe clamp diameter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fitting need welding?
No. It locks onto the pipe with stainless steel hex screws, which keeps the structure serviceable and easier to revise.
When do I use a corner fitting instead of an elbow?
Use the corner fitting when three pipes meet at the same intersection. Use a 90° elbow when only two pipe ends need to turn a corner.
What pipe size does this version fit?
This version fits 42.4 mm OD, 1-1/4" Sch. 40 pipe, commonly used as 1-1/4" nominal Schedule 40 pipe.
