The Short Tee, also known as Single Socket Tee, is a versatile key clamp fitting designed to create a 90° connection between two tubes of 42.4 mm diameter. Commonly used for straight and level handrails, it connects an upright post to a horizontal rail, making it ideal for end posts or top 'T' joints in guardrails and barriers.
This fitting is not suitable for joining tubes within the open section. If you need to join tubes through the top of the 'T', consider using a Long Tee fitting instead.
Made from galvanised steel, the Short Tee offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor use.
Typical applications: handrail systems, base ties in racking, frames, and safety barriers.
Assembly
The included set screw (Allen screw) makes assembly easy. An Allen key is the only tool needed to firmly secure the tubes in the tubeclamps. Please insure the right size allen key, an incorrect size can potentially damage the set screw.
Quality
Our key clamps have been manufactured according to strict specifications. The fittings are made from malleable iron (according to BS EN 1562) and are usually delivered in a hot dip galvanised finish (BS EN ISO 141) in order to combat corrosion and have a longer lasting product. Because of the galvanised finish this fitting is perfectly suitable for outdoor use. Our fittings are very strong and will support an axial load of up to 900 kg when tightened to a torque of 39Nm.
