Product Description
Overview
The KPC-038 Pipe Clamp Gate Eye is a bolt-on malleable iron fitting for 42.4 mm OD, 1-1/4" Sch. 40 pipe. It provides the eye half of a gate hinge pair for swinging pipe gates and barriers, 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
Swinging pipe gates need hardware that keeps the hinge point clear and easy to service. This gate eye gives one half of that pair within the same pipe clamp system.
Key Features
- Gate eye fitting forms the receiving eye half of a hinge pair for pipe gates and barriers.
- 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
Used for swinging access gates, temporary barriers, railing openings, backstage lanes, service entries, and pipe-built gates in event or industrial layouts.
Compatibility
Fits 42.4 mm OD, 1-1/4" Sch. 40 pipe; related sister fittings cover the alternate KUPO pipe clamp diameter.
