Square Key Clamp Rectangular Base Plate for 25 x 25mm Box Section, Galvanised

The square key clamp rectangular base plate stands a square upright on a floor or deck, on a rectangular base plate with a fixing hole each end. The upright pushes into the socket and is locked with hex socket grub screws; the plate is bolted down through its two holes. It suits 25 x 25mm square box section and is galvanised mild steel for indoor and outdoor use, so square tube frames can be built without welding. The price shown is for one fitting, with a minimum order of 5.

Why use a square key clamp rectangular base plate

A firm foot for posts. The long plate spreads the load and the two holes take anchors or bolts suited to the floor.

No welding. Square box section frames go together with a hex key and can be taken apart, altered or extended later.

A clean, modern look. Square section suits architectural handrails, shop fitting, display frames and furniture where a round tube would look out of place.

Galvanised for outdoors. The zinc coating protects the steel in yards, gardens and outdoor frames.

Where it is used

Square section handrails and balustrades, shop fitting and display frames, benches, tables and workstations, shelving and storage frames, garden and outdoor structures, and any frame built from 25 x 25mm box section.

Know its limits

Which 25 x 25mm square fitting?

How many do you need?

One at each joint of this type. Sketch the frame, mark each joint and count the fittings for each type before you order.

Choosing the right size

Square key clamps are sized by the outside of the box section. Measure across the flats of your tube: this fitting suits 25 x 25mm. The same fitting is made for 40 x 40mm box section.

Fitting and care

Cut the box section square and deburr the ends. Slide or push the tubes into the fitting, set the frame square and tighten the grub screws firmly with a hex key. Check the screws after the first week and once a year after that. Touch up scratched galvanising with zinc-rich paint.
