Key Clamp Poles, Gates and Fittings 

Also known as ‘Tube Clamps’ or ‘Pipe Clamps,’ Key Clamps are a versatile and robust solution for a wide range of interior and exterior applications. These fittings are widely used for creating cost-effective handrails, guardrails, and various framework structures. Their simple design and easy installation make them a popular choice for both permanent and temporary buildings. One of the best benefits of tube clamps is how easy they are to put together. You only need a Hexagon Key (Allen key) to make a strong and reliable joint.

Tube clamps are commonly used in applications like handrails and guardrails for walkways and public footpaths, railway guard railings, wheelchair access ramps, and both interior and exterior staircases. They are also essential for safety barriers in industrial environments, retail displays, storage units, agricultural enclosures, and fencing, as well as playgrounds and recreational structures. Whether for industrial, commercial, or domestic use, tube clamps provide a strong, reusable, and reconfigurable solution that can be easily modified to meet changing requirements.

Steel Tubes and Tube Clamp Gates

To complement tube clamp fittings, high-quality steel tubes are available in various sizes, including the popular Size 7 (42.4mm) tubes and Size 8 (48.3mm) tubes. These tubes serve as the backbone of any tube clamp system, ensuring stability and longevity. They are available in standard 3-metre lengths, but can also be cut to suit specific project needs. In addition to fittings and tubes, tube clamp gates provide added security and functionality to guardrail and safety barrier systems. These key clamp  gates integrate seamlessly with tube clamp railings to create controlled access points, ideal for industrial workspaces, warehouses, and pedestrian walkways. Designed for durability and ease of installation, tube clamp gates provide a reliable and secure solution for access control.

Size 7 and Size 8 Fittings

Size 7 and Size 8 fittings are among the most commonly used components in tube clamp systems. Size 7 fittings (42.4mm) are ideal for medium-duty applications, offering a balance of strength and versatility. On the other hand, Size 8 fittings (48.3mm) provide enhanced load-bearing capacity, making them suitable for heavy-duty industrial and commercial projects. These fittings come in various designs, such as elbows and tees for directional changes, cross fittings for multi-way intersections, swivel fittings for adjustable angles, base plates and wall mounts for secure installations, and clamps and collars for additional reinforcement. With a vast selection of fittings available, constructing a durable and practical tube clamp system has never been easier.

Armco and Tube Clamp Posts

Armco and Tube Clamp posts provide a strong, reliable foundation for tube clamp systems, particularly in applications requiring additional support and security. Armco posts, often used in safety barriers and crash protection systems, are made from durable steel and designed to withstand heavy impacts. When combined with tube clamp fittings, they offer a robust solution for creating safe, effective barriers and frameworks. 

Why Choose Tube Clamps?

Tube clamps are easy to assemble with just a Hex Key, making them ideal for quick and secure installations. The versatility of these clamps makes them suitable for a wide range of applications across industrial, commercial, and domestic projects. Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant galvanised steel, these clamps are designed to withstand the elements and provide long-lasting performance. The modular system allows for reusability and adaptability, making it an excellent choice for projects that may require future modifications. Tube clamps are available in different sizes, including Size 7 and Size 8 fittings, and can be enhanced with optional powder coating for additional durability and a sleek, aesthetically pleasing finish.
