Product Description
Overview
The KPC-143B Pipe Clamp Handrail Bracket is a 100-series bolt-on fitting for 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe. It mounts a horizontal handrail pipe to a wall or vertical post with a clean wall-side flange, 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
The black finish helps visible pipework settle into scenic, retail, and event environments while keeping the same no-weld pipe clamp workflow.
Key Features
- Wall-side bracket geometry supports a horizontal handrail pipe from a vertical surface.
- 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
Intended for handrail runs, wall-mounted pipe rails, platform edges, access routes, display barriers, and support points in 48.3 mm railing systems.
Compatibility
Fits 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe; related sister fittings cover the alternate KUPO pipe clamp diameter.
