The KPC-101 Pipe Clamp Short Tee is a bolt-on malleable iron fitting for 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe. It branches a perpendicular pipe from the main run with a tight, low-profile tee junction, using internal or stainless steel hex screws to lock the pipe without welding so the structure can be assembled, adjusted, and serviced on site.
Why It Matters
A short tee is the clean answer when the branch should stay close to the main run. It keeps compact frames tidy and avoids unnecessary offset.
Key Features
Short tee geometry creates a compact perpendicular branch from the main pipe.
ASTM A197 casting gives the fitting a durable body for modular tubular structures.
Hot dip galvanized surface treatment supports corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor service.
No-weld installation lets crews revise frames, rails, and display structures without cutting pipe apart.
Applications
Use for compact frame branches, rail connections, display structures, retail pipework, scenic builds, and modular pipe systems using 48.3 mm tube.
Compatibility
Fits 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe; related sister fittings cover the alternate KUPO pipe clamp diameter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fitting need welding?
No. It clamps with hex screws, so the structure remains bolt-on and easier to reconfigure.
Why choose the short tee?
Choose it when the branch pipe should sit close to the main run with minimal offset.
Which pipe size does this version fit?
This version fits 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe; check the sister size if your structure uses the other KUPO pipe clamp diameter.
