Kee Klamp®The Connection System That HasRevolutionized Tubular Structures

Steel pipe is an inherently efficient structuralcomponent. It is strong and has no sharp corners.It can be obtained in a wide range of sizes andthickness and is freely available worldwide.

The difficulty arises in joining pipe to formstructures. Threaded pipe must be supplied in setlengths and is therefore relatively expensive andinflexible in application. Welding is labor intensiveand requires a highly skilled workforce.

The answer is provided by the Kee Klamp Fittingwhich has become the basis of a rigid tubularconstruction system proven the world over. Theunderlying principle is simple but highly effective –a slip-on fitting that can be used to create versatileand rigid tubular structures.

The Kee Klamp principle has been developed andrefined for more than 70 years into an extensiverange of fittings that can be used to assemble allforms of tubular structures. The entire range offittings is covered in this manual.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Quality is the overriding priority when manufacturing Kee Klampfittings. It begins in the foundry where all fittings are manufac-tured and galvanized to ISO Standard BS EN ISO 1461:199and subject to stringent inspection upon completion.

TÜV APPROVAL

TÜV, Europe’s leading Independent TestingHouse, has approved the following Kee Klampfittings in sizes 5 to 9:

10, A10, 12, A12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21,A21/A26, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 35, A35, 40,A40, 45, A45, 46, F50, M50, M51, M52, BC53, 55, 56, M58,60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 67, 68, 69, 70, 75, 86, 87, 88, 89, 114,115, 121, 145.*

The maximum load of each fitting type is as stated on the TÜVCertificate, a copy of which is available upon request. Thetechnical descriptions featured in this manual have not beenpart of the testing.**

HEALTH AND SAFETY

No Kee Klamp fittings have been found to be hazardous withinthe meaning of current OSHA Regulations, assuming that thematerials are cut and assembled using normal pipe cutters,saws and hexagonal tools.

Kee Klamp fittings are designed so that the need to weld isavoided - an added safety element since the welding processdoes have OSHA implications, especially if the pipe is pre-galvanized or has any other pre-finish.

Kee Klamp fittings in Sizes 7, 8, and 9, when used to constructa 42’’ High Guard railing, will meet the requirements of theOSHA Safety Standard of a single 200 lb. load applied at anylocation along the top of the rail when the correct specificationof pipe is used and the correct method of design is employed.The integrity of the structure to which the system is fixed andthe fixings used will need to be inspected to ensure that theyare capable of meeting the imposed load requirements.

Notes:

Kee Industrial Products can provide general guidance on theuse of the fittings detailed in this manual. However, the natureof the product means that the ultimate responsibility forselecting the correct fitting for an application rests with thecustomer.

The customer should also ensure that any existing structure, towhich a Kee Klamp fittings structure is being secured, is ofsufficient strength to support both the weight of the Kee Klampconstruction and the imposed loads applied, including windloads, snow loads and any other superimposed loads.

* For an up to date TÜV listing see our website athttp://www.keeklamp.com

**Due to possible dynamic load influences, some structures willneed to be checked at regular intervals to ensure set screwsare correctly tightened.

THE KEE KLAMP FITTING

The simple but effective engineering principle of the Kee Klampfitting is the foundation of the most versatile pipe connectionsystem available. There are many variations of fitting to suit awide range of applications, thus providing the versatility toachieve virtually any structural configuration.

Kee Klamp fittings are iron castings manufactured to therequirements of ASTM A47-77-32510. A range of fittings to suiteight sizes of pipe is available. Hex set screws firmly lock the pipeinto the fitting. Set screws are manufactured in case hardenedsteel and are protected against corrosion by Kee KoatTM.

A Kee Klamp fitting (size 5 to 9) can support an axial load of*2000 lbs. per set screw with the set screw tightened to a torqueof 29 lbs./ft. This is normally obtained when the set screw is fullytightened using a ratchet wrench.

(*rating includes a safety factor of 2:1)

SELECTING KEE KLAMP FITTINGS

Every fitting is illustrated and accompanied by a table of sizesand weights. Each fitting has a simple numerical code reference,which is unique and differentiates it from every other fitting. Thecode defines the type of fitting and the pipe size, or sizes, it isdesigned to receive.

The first number, preceding the dash (-) identifies the type of Kee Klamp fitting.

A single digit, following the dash, defines pipe size. Two digitsafter the dash indicate that the fitting is designed to receive twosizes of pipe. Likewise, three digits after the dash indicate thatthe fitting is designed to receive three sizes of pipe. The KeeKlamp pipe size codes (a choice of eight, numbered from 2-9)are shown on pages 4 and 5 of this manual, where the KeeKlamp pipe code is related to actual pipe dimensions. (See tablepage 5).

FINISHES

Kee Klamp fittings are supplied hot dip galvanizedto BS EN ISO 1461:199. Standard steel pipe isgalvanized to the requirements of ASTM A53.

COLORS

In addition to this standard finish, pipefittings and accessories can be suppliedwith polyester coating in any RAL color.

The polyester coating is highly durableand is usually applied to products that are already galvanized. Shoulddamage occur to the coating,corrosion is still prevented.

Typical examples of available colorsare shown on the pages featuringthe Kee Klamp standard range offittings. Colors and illustrativeRAL references are presentedin the format shown below.

* Nominal bore is an arbitrary dimension, because the bore varieswith the wall thickness of the pipe.

**Subject to normal manufacturing tolerances.

PIPEKee Klamp fittings are produced in a range of standard sizes tosuit Schedule 40 steel pipe, sizes 1/4'' nominal bore to 2'' nominalbore; also equivalent sizes of tubing in other materials.

Tubing of other specifications can be used, providing the outsidediameter is compatible with Schedule 40 Pipe. Pipe with a wallthickness of less than 1/8'' can only be used in lightly-loadedstructures.

Pipe sizes are shown in the table and sectional drawings below.

Combination Socket Tee and CrossoverUsed on racking to join horizontal carrying rails to the upright,leaving the socket to take a horizontal tie across the section. For shelved racking it is usual to have the horizontal pipe outside the upright. On palletracking it is preferable to have the carrying rails inside the upright.

CrossoverDesigned to give a 90° offset crossover joint. Frequently usedon safety railing, where, to reduce cost by minimizing thepipe cuts, a continuous horizontal rail is used. Pipe cannot bejoined within this fitting. It may be also used to give intermedi-ate levels on racks, etc, when horizontal ties between uprightsacross the section are not required.Note: Where Dimension ‘E” indicates two figures, the first figure refers to socket ‘A’ and the second refers to socket ‘B’ in the table.

SWIVEL FITTINGS - Types F50, M50, MH50, M51, MH51, M52, & M58

These are known as swivel fittings and can be assembled as Types C50, CH50, C51, CH51, C52, and C58 or supplied as separate items. They arefrequently used for bracing but can also overcome problems where joints are required at angles other than those achieved by fixed angle fittings. Foreconomical use of pipe, when making “C” fittings, types F50 (sizes 5-9 only) can be combined with different sizes of Types M50, MH50, M51, MH51,M52 and M58. F50-4 and M50-4 will only combine with each other. Warning! An entire structure should not be constructed from swivel fittings, as theywould not provide sufficient stability or rigidity in the structure. Types M50, MH50, M51, MH51, M52 and M58 can also be used separately to securevarious types of infill panel (i.e. flake-board, plastic sheeting, etc.). These fittings are not designed to take bending moments.

CIRCLES AND TRIANGLES

IntroductionSlopes and radii present no problem to the Kee Klamp system. Fitting Types27, 28, 29, 30, C50, C51, C52, 55, 56, 86, 87, 88 and 89 and the 90range Pedestrian Guardrailing Fittings are designed to allow for rakedhandrailing while keeping the uprights vertical. Pipe can be bent andradiused to suit most situations. Also, true lengths have to be determinedwhere braces and struts are being used.To enable Kee Industrial Products to machine fittings and radius pipe somebasic information is required e.g. angle of slope, arc lengths etc. We haveprovided simple formulas and work examples to help you solve individualproblems.Staircases and RampsTypes 27 and 28 are held in stock as blanks. These are then machined toindividual requirements. It is therefore essential when ordering that therequired angle from the horizontal is stated. Other pipe lengths need to bedetermined when using fitting Types 29 and 30, C50, C51 and C52 andthe 90 range Pedestrian Guardrailing Fittings.

L & I H = L2 - I2 Sin C = I B = 90° - CL

Note: The table can be used to solve angles and true lengths for braces andstruts.Step 1From a simple site survey or information from a working drawing, obtain thefollowing dimensions.Note: For greater accuracy vertical dimensions should be taken by means ofa Dumpy Level or a Theodolite.H = vertical height from the 1st nosing to the last (55 in).L = pitch line, the diagonal dimension from the 1st nosing to the

last (96 in).Step 2From the table to determine angle B we use;Sin B = 55

96 Angle B = 35°Ramps can be dealt with in a similar way. Most ramps have a statedgradient e.g. 1:12, for every 12 units traversed horizontally, 1 unit ofvertical height is obtained.

HOW TO MAKE JIGS FOR RAILING POSTS

SET-UUP Step 1: Start with pre-cut pipe.

Step 2: Measure and locate fittings on first post only.

Step 3: Lay post horizontal, and insert two pieces of scrap pipe.This is all that’s involved in setting up your jig! From this point, duplicateposts can be produced by unskilled labor, without further measuring, atthe rate of 20-30 posts per hour.

PRODUCTION Step 1: Set top and middle fittings in place, unfastened,on the two pieces of scrap pipe.

Step 2: Insert pre-cut pipe into fittings, then add flange.

Step 3: Simply tighten set screws, then lift off.The principle is the same for corner posts. Simply substitute corner fittingsfor straight run fittings, as in Step 1 of the Production stage.

TEST REPORT: Vibration of Kee Klamp AssembliesExhaustive tests on samples of standard size 7 Kee Klamp fittings wereperformed by an independent research laboratory. The purpose of the testwas to evaluate the use of either standard set screws or self-locking setscrews.

Test Arrangement

A “Tee” section test assembly was made using three 12 ft. lengths ofgalvanized size 7 standard pipe held together by a three socket tee fitting(Type 25-7). The vertical leg of the test assembly was supported in astandard railing flange (Type 62-7). The completed assembly was thenrigidly attached to the vibration table.

The test assembly was initially assembled using standard set screws andtested in this configuration. The standard set screws were then replacedwith the self-locking screws and the tests repeated.

Test Procedure

The test was conducted on a Ling 667 kg Electromagnetic vibration table.The table was programmed to perform a resonance search between 25and 350 Hz. and resonant frequencies were recorded and shown inTable 20.

During the resonance search amplification factors, Q, were measured ateach resonant frequency, the point of reference being the end of onehorizontal pipe. The table was then held at one of the resonantfrequencies, set in motion with a controlled acceleration level of 4g, andran for a period of six hours. This was repeated for three more resonantfrequencies in descending order of “Q” factor.
