Product Description
Overview
The KPC-A1217ADJ Swivel Elbow / Tee is part of KUPO's A535 aluminum-magnesium alloy slip-on pipe clamp family for 48.30 mm outside diameter tube. It pairs with the matching male tab to create an articulating adjustable-angle joint, using 3/8" galvanized steel recessed grub screws with reverse knurled cup points for a no-weld pipe structure that can be installed with a standard hex key.
Why It Matters
Diagonal bracing and non-orthogonal frames need a joint that can articulate before it is locked. This body forms the socket side of that adjustable alloy joint.
Key Features
- Swivel elbow and tee body pairs with KPC-A1217M or KPC-A1417M male tab for adjustable angle work.
- A535 aluminum-magnesium alloy keeps the fitting lightweight and corrosion resistant for outdoor or harsh environments.
- 3/8" galvanized steel recessed grub screws with reverse knurled cup points hold the pipe securely.
- Standard hex-key installation avoids welding, specialist labor, and permanent fabrication.
Additional Technical Notes
- Set Screws: 3/8" galvanized steel recessed grub screw with reverse knurled cup point
Applications
Use for diagonal bracing, non-square display frames, architectural pipe geometry, scenic structures, guardrails, and installations where the final angle is set on site.
