Note: This tubefitting is sold individually but must be used in pairs. Please order two pieces per angled joint.
The Short Tee Swivel is a specialised key clamp used to create adjustable in-plane corner angles between 90° and 180°. It is ideal for changing the direction of rails in landing areas, staircases, or platforms where a flexible connection is needed.
Commonly used in combination with Elbows or Tee Clamps and a short length of tube, often finished with a Plastic End Cap. A central connector tube is required between the two clamps to complete the joint.
Installation with set screw
Our tubeclamps are equipped with a hardened Darcomet-coated set screw. The fitting is secured by tightening the set screw against the tube, creating a strong mechanical grip. This clamping system ensures a safe, slip-resistant connection between the tube and fitting, with a maximum slip load of up to 900 kg.
Installation is simple and only requires an Allen key. In many cases hand-tightening is sufficient, but for safety-critical applications we recommend using a torque wrench set to 39 Nm (29 ft/lb). Always use the correct size Allen key to prevent damage to the screw head. You can easily add the correct Allen keys to your order.
What size tube clamp do you need?
The size listed for a tube clamp always refers to the outside diameter of the tube it is designed to fit. The internal diameter of the fitting is intentionally manufactured slightly larger to accommodate normal tube tolerances. Once the set screw is tightened, the tube is securely clamped in place, creating a strong and reliable connection.
Material and manufacturing standard
All our tube clamps are manufactured from high-quality malleable cast iron in accordance with BS EN 1562 and produced to the BS 6681 (ISO 5922) standard. This ensures excellent tensile strength and impact resistance, making these fittings suitable for structural and load-bearing constructions.
Finish: hot-dip galvanised (ISO 1461)
This tubeclamp is hot-dip galvanised in accordance with BS 729 (ISO 1461). During this process the fitting is immersed in molten zinc, creating a strong and durable protective coating. The zinc layer protects the fitting against corrosion and makes it highly suitable for outdoor applications and long-term use in changing weather conditions. On request, the tubeclamps can also be powder coated in a different colour.
