The 45° Tee key clamp is designed to create a fixed 45-degree joint between two 42.4 mm tubes. Ideal for adding diagonal bracing to reinforce tubular structures.
This fitting is commonly used for structural support in frames, racking, or railings. For variable angles, consider the Adjustable Tee (30°-60°) tubefitting.
Typical applications: bracing struts, support frames, and angled reinforcements.
Assembly
Each key clamp is supplied with a set screw (Allen screw) for secure installation. An Allen key is the only tool required to tighten the tube firmly in the key clamp. Always use the correct Allen key size to prevent damage to the set screw and ensure proper tightening.
Quality & Standards
Our tube clamps are manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1562 and produced from high-quality malleable iron (grade KTH350-10). The tube clamps are finished with a hot-dip galvanised coating according to BS EN ISO 1461, providing excellent corrosion resistance and making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
When properly tightened to a recommended torque of 39 Nm, the tube clamps create a strong and reliable mechanical connection. Load capacity depends on the specific fitting type, tube size and construction design.
