Product Description
Overview
The KPC-A1417E Adjustable Elbow or Tee is an A535 aluminum-magnesium alloy slip-on pipe clamp for 42.40 mm (1.66") outside diameter tube. It can serve as either an adjustable-angle elbow or a tee depending on its orientation, 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
A fitting that can change roles is valuable when the same pipe kit has to solve several layouts. This part gives installers angle flexibility and a tee option without moving into custom fabrication.
Key Features
- Multi-position body works as either an adjustable elbow or a tee, reducing the number of specialty fittings needed in the kit.
- 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 non-square corners, branch points, angled display frames, ramped handrails, exhibition structures, recreational venues, and pipe systems where the final geometry may shift on site.
Compatibility
Fits 42.40 mm (1.66") outside diameter tube for Schedule 40 nominal pipe. The related KPC-A1217E 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.
Is it an elbow or a tee?
It can be used as either, depending on orientation and the pipe layout. That is the point of the multi-position design.
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.
