Product Description

Overview

The KPC-144B Pipe Clamp Railing Side is a 100-series bolt-on fitting for 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" 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 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

  • 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 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 stair handrails, angled rails, ramp-side pipe, platform access routes, temporary guardrails, and pipe railing layouts that need side-mounted angle transitions.

Compatibility

Fits 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe; related sister fittings cover the alternate KUPO pipe clamp diameter.
