Key Clamp Double Swivel Male Part for 60.3mm Tube, Two Lugs at 90°, Galvanised, Size E

The male half of a double swivel for 60.3mm tube: a through barrel with two flat lugs at 90 degrees to each other. The tube passes through the barrel and is held by one hex socket grub screw. Each lug has a hole for a rivet or bolt, so a swivelling socket or a flat panel can be attached to the tube. It suits 60.3mm outside diameter tube, sold as 50mm nominal bore, and is galvanised malleable cast iron. The price shown is for one fitting, with a minimum order of 6.

Why a lug part works

Two attachment points at 90 degrees. With the lugs at a right angle, you can fix panels or swivels on two faces of a corner from one fitting on the tube.

Flat panels without welding. The flat lugs give a panel or plate something to fix to, without welding a bracket to the tube.

Adjustable along the tube. The barrel slides along the tube until the grub screw is tight, so the lug heights can be set on site.

Where it is used

Attaching flat panels to tube frames, building up a corner double swivel with a pair of female sockets, and fixing infill sheets on tube frames where the panels meet at a corner. This part has no moving joint of its own and needs a matching swivel part or a panel fixed to it.

Specifications

Choosing the right size and part

Measure the outside of your tube with a caliper rather than relying on a nominal bore size on a delivery note. This fitting is for tube that measures 60.3mm across, sold as 50mm nominal bore. The bore is cast to that size, so a smaller or larger tube will not grip properly.

Fitting and care

Cut the tube square, remove any burr and slide it through the barrel. Set the height and tighten the grub screw with a hex key until it bites firmly, and do not overdrive it. Attach your panel or swivel part to the lugs with a suitable rivet or bolt. The rivets or bolts are not included.

No load rating is published for this line. If the frame has to meet a design loading, have it assessed by a competent person before it goes into use.

Check the grub screws during routine inspections of the frame, especially where it is exposed to vibration. Galvanising needs no routine care in normal conditions, and any cut tube ends or damaged areas can be touched up with a zinc-rich paint.
