Product Description
Overview
The KPC-029B Pipe Clamp Adjustable Short Tee is a bolt-on malleable iron fitting for 42.4 mm OD, 1-1/4" Sch. 40 pipe. It branches a perpendicular pipe with on-site angle adjustment for non-square layouts, 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
The black finish helps visible pipe structures sit quieter in scenic, retail, and event environments. Functionally, this is still a KUPO pipe clamp fitting built for fast bolt-on assembly and reliable rework.
Key Features
- Adjustable tee geometry lets the branch pipe handle non-square layouts during on-site assembly.
- 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
Useful for angled bracing, uneven site conditions, custom display frames, modified rail layouts, scenic structures, and pipe systems where a fixed tee would force the wrong angle.
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

Choose it when the branch pipe cannot sit at a fixed square angle, or when the final angle has to be set on site.
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.
