The Sloped Three Socket Tee is designed to connect two horizontal rails to a vertical upright on slopes between 11° and 30°. It is ideal for angled guardrails, ramps, and stair safety systems.
Please note: the two horizontal tubes must be separate pieces. They cannot pass through the fitting, as this would block the upright from being inserted vertically.
This fitting is available from stock and requires no machining. For the lower rail on a slope, use the matching Sloped Two Socket Cross (C58).
Typical applications: handrails, inclined safety railings, and barrier systems on gradients.
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.
