Product Description
Overview
The KPC-158 Pipe Clamp 4 Way Cross is a 100-series bolt-on fitting for 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe. It joins four pipes meeting at a single right-angle intersection, 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
Dense pipe grids are easier to build when the intersection is handled by one fitting. This 48.3 mm cross organizes four directions without stacking several separate connectors.
Key Features
- Four-way right-angle geometry organizes four pipe directions at one intersection.
- 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
Built for pipe grids, cube frames, retail displays, scenic wall systems, guardrail intersections, exhibition frames, and structural layouts where four 48.3 mm members meet.
Compatibility
Fits 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe; related sister fittings cover the alternate KUPO pipe clamp diameter.
