This is different from the through-ring male swivel part, where the tube passes through the fitting and the lug sticks out sideways. Here the tube stops inside the socket and the lug carries on along its centre line. It suits 48.3mm outside diameter tube only, sold as 40mm nominal bore, and is galvanised malleable cast iron. The price shown is for one fitting, with a minimum order of 6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/key-clamp-male-swivel-socket-48-3mm-tube-end-in-line-lug-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the male swivel socket for 48.3mm tube end, with a closed socket and a lug on the end\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:760px;height:auto;margin:0 auto\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a socket style male part works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes the end of a tube.\u003c\/strong\u003e The rail end goes into the socket, with no through tube needed beyond it, so you can hinge the end of a rail to the next part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn-line lug.\u003c\/strong\u003e Because the lug sits on the tube axis, the joint line continues straight through the swivel, unlike a side lug that sets the next part off to one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimple to fit.\u003c\/strong\u003e One grub screw, and the swivel is made with a single rivet or bolt through the 10mm hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSloping rails and other angled tube work, where the end of a 48.3mm tube needs to hinge to another swivel part.
