Product Description
Overview
The KPC-160B Pipe Clamp Clamp-On Crossover is a 100-series bolt-on fitting for 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe. It lets one pipe pass over another at a junction without cutting either run, 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.
Key Features
- Clamp-on crossover geometry allows one pipe to pass over another while both runs remain continuous.
- 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 retrofitted display frames, crossing guardrail runs, scenic pipe grids, booth structures, overhead support patterns, and late-stage 48.3 mm layout changes.
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?
