Product Description

Overview

The KPC-176 Side Outlet Tee is a cast-iron pipe clamp fitting for 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe. It joins three horizontal pipes to a vertical column at 90° in one four-way fitting, 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 post with branches in several directions can get crowded quickly. The side outlet tee keeps three horizontal members organized at the same elevation on one vertical column.

Key Features

  • Four-way configuration connects three horizontal pipes and one vertical column at 90°.
  • 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 free-standing barrel grids, exhibition booths, retail displays, guardrail corner posts, display rigs, and modular column intersections.

Compatibility

Fits 48.3 mm OD, 1-1/2" Sch. 40 pipe; related sister fittings cover the alternate KUPO pipe clamp diameter.
