Product Description
Overview
The KPC-146 Pipe Clamp Side Palm Fixing is a 100-series bolt-on fitting for 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe. It terminates pipe to a vertical surface with a side-mount palm style flange, using stainless steel hex screws to lock the pipe without welding so smaller-format rail, display, and frame structures can be assembled and reworked on site.
Why It Matters
Not every pipe termination lands on the floor. This fitting gives 48.3 mm outside diameter pipe a clean wall or side-surface landing point while keeping the installation bolt-on.
Key Features
- Side palm flange terminates a 48.3 mm outside diameter pipe into a vertical surface instead of a floor base.
- 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
Use for wall-supported rails, side-mounted display frames, guardrail terminations, retail pipe structures, platform details, and pipe runs ending at a vertical face.
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 locks the pipe with stainless steel hex screws, keeping the structure bolt-on and easier to revise.
How is this different from a base flange?
A base flange mounts to a floor, deck, or flat horizontal surface. The side palm fixing terminates the pipe against a vertical surface.
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.
