Miscellaneous Kee Klamp Fittings
Miscellaneous Kee Fittings gather the finishing, safety, and specialty pieces that complete a Kee Klamp framework. This range includes the Type 71 weather cap, 72 stair tread support, 75 collar (stop or spacer), 76 hook, 78 eye fitting, 83 pin fitting, 97 and 99 set screws with hex keys, 100 plastic set-screw caps, 350 eaves and 351 ridge fittings, the 32 decorative ball, and the S115 packer plate. Like the rest of the system, most are malleable iron fixed with a hex set screw.
No-Weld, Slip-On Assembly
Kee Klamp fittings are part of a slip-fit pipe system: components connect to plain-end Schedule 40 pipe and lock with a case-hardened hex (Allen) set screw—no welding, threading, or hot-work permits. Tighten to spec with a ratchet wrench and the joint is ready to carry load, so a railing or frame can be built, adjusted, or extended on site with basic hand tools.
OSHA-Ready & Corrosion-Resistant
Fittings are malleable iron cast to ASTM A47 (grade 32510) and hot-dip galvanized to ASTM A123 for indoor or outdoor service. Kee Klamp is a component system: built into a 42" guardrail with the correct pipe, anchoring, and post spacing, sizes 7, 8, and 9 help the assembled system meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.29 and 1926.502 design loads—compliance is a property of the installed railing, not any single fitting.
FAQs
1. What are miscellaneous Kee fittings?
These are the assorted accessories and specialty hardware that finish and extend a Kee Klamp framework — items such as the Type 71 weather cap, 75 collar, 76 hook, 78 eye fitting, 83 pin fitting, 350 eaves and 351 ridge fittings, the 32 decorative ball, and the S115 packer plate. They complete structures that the standard structural fittings begin.
2. Which pieces are for finishing and safety?
The Type 71 weather cap closes a vertical pipe against the weather, the 75 collar acts as a stop or spacer, and the 100 plastic caps cover exposed set screws for a tidy, snag-free edge. Hooks (76), eye fittings (78), and pin fittings (83) add attachment and specialty points to the frame.
3. How do most miscellaneous Kee fittings attach to the pipe?
Most fittings fix to plain-end pipe with a case-hardened hex (Allen) set screw — no welding, threading, or special tools. Type 97 and 99 are the replacement set screws and hex keys, while the 100 plastic caps cover the screw heads. A few items, like plastic caps, simply push on by hand.
4. What are these fittings made from?
The metal fittings are malleable iron castings produced to ASTM A47 (grade 32510) and hot-dip galvanized to ASTM A123 for indoor and outdoor corrosion resistance. Set screws are case-hardened. Accessories such as the 100 set-screw caps are molded plastic rather than iron.
5. How strong is a Kee set screw?
Across Kee sizes 5–9, each set screw supports a 2,000 lb (907 kg) axial load when tightened to 29 ft-lb (39.3 N·m), with a 2:1 safety factor. That performance applies to the assembled, correctly installed system — overall capacity depends on the pipe, anchoring, and configuration.
6. What pipe sizes do these fittings fit?
Kee Klamp is built in eight pipe sizes (component sizes 2–9), with the size shown as the last digit of the part number. Common sizes are 5 = 3/4", 6 = 1", 7 = 1-1/4", 8 = 1-1/2", and 9 = 2". Choose the fitting size to match your pipe.
