The KPC-135 Pipe Clamp Clamp-On Tee is a 100-series bolt-on fitting for 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe. It adds a perpendicular branch to an existing pipe without breaking the main run, 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
A late branch should not force the crew to rebuild a full pipe run. This clamp-on tee adds a 48.3 mm branch point around existing pipework.
Key Features
Clamp-on design adds a perpendicular branch without disassembling the main pipe run.
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
Helpful for retrofitting display frames, adding rail branches, revising scenic structures, modifying booth layouts, and creating late-stage attachment points.
Compatibility
Fits 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe; related sister fittings cover the alternate KUPO pipe clamp diameter.
