Product Description
Overview
The KPC-040B Pipe Clamp Gate Hinge is a bolt-on malleable iron fitting for 42.4 mm OD, 1-1/4" Sch. 40 pipe. It provides the hinge half that pairs with a Gate Eye to build a swinging pipe gate, 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.
