The KPC-149B Pipe Clamp Sleeve Joint is a 100-series bolt-on fitting for 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe. It butts two pipes end to end inside a sleeve to extend a straight pipe run without offset, 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
The black finish helps visible pipe structures sit quieter in scenic, retail, and event environments while keeping the same no-weld pipe clamp workflow.

Stainless steel hex screws lock the pipe without welding, helping crews assemble and revise frames cleanly.

Compatibility
