Product Description
Overview
The KPC-A1405 Long Tee is an A535 aluminum-magnesium alloy slip-on pipe clamp for 42.40 mm (1.66") outside diameter tube. It creates a three-way branch with an extended through-pipe boss for added capture length, 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
Long horizontal runs benefit from more pipe capture at the branch. This long tee gives the main run a more extended boss while keeping the same slip-on alloy workflow.
Key Features
- Extended through-pipe boss adds capture length for main branch fittings on long runs.
- 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 long horizontal rails, display frames, guardrail branches, pipe-and-clamp structures, exhibition builds, and retail fit-outs needing a stronger branch point.
Compatibility
Fits 42.40 mm (1.66") outside diameter tube for Schedule 40 nominal pipe. The related KPC-A1205 version fits the companion tube size in the same KPC-A family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this part of the aluminum-magnesium clamp family?
Yes. It is an A535 aluminum-magnesium alloy slip-on fitting, not one of the cast-iron KPC pipe clamps.
Why use the long tee over the short tee?
Use it when the through-pipe needs more capture length or when the branch is part of a longer horizontal run.
Which tube size does this version fit?
This version fits 42.40 mm (1.66") outside diameter tube. Check the sister model if your structure uses the companion KPC-A tube size.
