The KPC-044 Pipe Clamp Railing Side is a bolt-on malleable iron fitting for 42.4 mm OD, 1-1/4" Sch. 40 pipe. It joins a railing pipe at a side angle for stair handrails and angled rail runs, using stainless steel hex screws to lock the pipe without welding so frame, rail, and display structures can be assembled and revised on site.
Why It Matters
Stair and ramp railings rarely behave like square booth frames. This side fitting gives angled rail sections a purpose-made connection point while staying inside the pipe clamp system.
Key Features
Side-angle railing geometry helps handrail sections meet posts or supports on sloped runs.
Malleable iron casting per ASTM A197 provides a durable body for tubular structures.
ASTM A153 hot dip galvanized treatment plus zinc plating supports corrosion resistance for demanding environments.
Stainless steel hex screws lock the pipe firmly without welding, helping crews build and rework faster.
Applications
Useful for stair handrails, angled rails, ramp-side pipe, platform access routes, temporary guardrails, and pipe railing layouts that need side-mounted angle transitions.
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 require welding?
No. It locks the pipe with stainless steel hex screws, so the structure remains bolt-on and easier to reconfigure.
When should I use the railing side fitting?
Use it when a railing pipe needs to meet the support from the side at an angle, especially on stair or ramp-style rail runs.
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.
