Product Description
Overview
The KPC-A1217M Male Tab of Swivel is an A535 aluminum-magnesium alloy slip-on pipe clamp for 48.30 mm (1.90") outside diameter tube. It forms the male tab half of KUPO's modular swivel system, using 3/8" galvanized steel recessed grub screws with reverse knurled cup points for a no-weld structure that installs with a standard hex key.
Why It Matters
The swivel body cannot articulate by itself. This male tab is the matching half that completes the joint, making it a small but critical piece for adjustable bracing.
Key Features
- Male tab mates with the swivel elbow and tee body to complete an articulating pipe joint.
- 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, adjustable pipe joints, non-square display frames, guardrail details, scenic structures, and any layout using the matching swivel elbow and tee body.
Compatibility
Fits 48.30 mm (1.90") outside diameter tube for Schedule 40 nominal pipe. The related KPC-A1417M version fits the companion tube size in the same KPC-A family.
