Product Description
Overview
The KPC-129 Pipe Clamp Adjustable Short Tee is a 100-series bolt-on fitting for 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" 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 smaller-format rail, display, and frame structures can be assembled and reconfigured on site.
Why It Matters
Temporary frames and existing spaces rarely stay perfectly square. This adjustable tee gives a 48.3 mm branch point enough angle flexibility to meet the real layout.
Key Features
- Adjustable tee geometry lets the branch pipe accommodate non-square conditions during installation.
- Malleable iron casting per ASTM A197 provides a durable body for modular tubular structures.
- ASTM A153 hot dip galvanized treatment plus zinc plating supports corrosion resistance in demanding environments.
- Stainless steel hex screws lock the pipe without welding, helping crews assemble and revise frames cleanly.
Applications
Useful for angled bracing, uneven site conditions, modified rail layouts, custom display frames, scenic structures, and pipe systems where a fixed tee would force the wrong angle.
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?

When would I choose the adjustable version?
Choose it when the branch pipe angle needs to be set on site rather than locked to a fixed square tee.
What pipe size does this version fit?
This 100-series version fits 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe, also described as 1-1/2" nominal Schedule 40 pipe.
