Product Description
Overview
The KPC-168 90? Corner Swivel is a cast-iron pipe clamp fitting for 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe. It forms a right-angle corner with a swiveling joint for braced corners, using internal hex screws to lock the pipe without welding so structural pipework can be assembled, adjusted, and serviced on site.
Why It Matters
A braced corner often needs one member to land at an angle while the frame corner stays square. This fitting keeps the 90° reference while allowing the brace to find its real angle.
Key Features
- Right-angle corner layout with swivel adjustment supports braced frame corners.
- ASTM A197 cast iron body supports demanding modular pipe structures.
- Double-layer hot-dip galvanization helps protect the fitting in indoor and outdoor service.
- Internal hex screws secure the pipe without welding, keeping the assembly relocatable.
Applications
Use for braced corners, angled frame returns, scenic structures, guardrails, retail pipe frames, and display builds with square corners plus diagonal support.
Compatibility
Fits 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe; related sister fittings cover the alternate KUPO pipe clamp diameter.
