Galvanised Steel Tube, 42.4mm OD x 3.2mm Wall, 1500mm Length, for Key Clamp Handrails

A 1500mm length of heavy galvanised steel tube, 42.4mm outside diameter with a 3.2mm wall, for key clamp handrails, barriers and frames. This is the standard tube size for 42.4mm key clamp fittings, galvanised for outdoor use and supplied with square cut ends. A 1.5m length is easy to carry and handle, and suits short handrail runs, uprights, gate frames and repairs without cutting a longer length down. Each length weighs about 4.3 kg.

Why choose this tube

Made for key clamp fittings. 42.4mm is the outside diameter that 42.4mm key clamp tees, elbows, flanges and crosses are made to fit, so the fittings grub-screw straight on.

Heavy 3.2mm wall. A thick wall gives a rigid handrail and takes the grub screws of key clamp fittings without crushing.

Galvanised for outdoors. The zinc finish protects the tube on ramps, steps, barriers and frames out in the weather.

A handy 1.5m length. Short enough to carry in a car and handle on your own, long enough for uprights and short rails.

Where it is used

Handrails on steps and ramps, guard rails and edge protection, barriers and pedestrian guards, frames for staging, shelving, benches and greenhouses, gate frames, and general fabrication and repairs.

Cutting and fitting

Measure the run and cut the tube square with a pipe cutter, cold saw or hacksaw, then deburr the end and treat the bare steel with zinc-rich paint. Slide the key clamp fittings on, set the rails level and the uprights plumb, and tighten the grub screws with an Allen key.
