The 4 pack Cross Pipe Clamp includes a 1-inch tube Double U-Bolt connector and is a basic part required by any person working on assembling structural components of buildings, (industrial, farm/field) or in Do It Yourself home projects. The Heavy Duty Frame Fixator was designed specifically to connect two pipes together at a 90 degree angle creating a rigid and consistent point for framing systems to establish themselves. The main benefit of using a cross type clamp vs. welding is its versatility and modularity. Users may create, adjust, and/or take down a structure without damaging the original material. All parts in the 4-Piece Kit were made from High-Strength Steel, some times coated with Galvanize/Zinc plating to increase their resistance to corrosion from weather conditions and to protect against degrading from moisture/humidity changes in temperature.
It is the use of the Double U-Bolt Connector that gives this product a higher level of Load Bearing Capability than other products. Using two separate U-Shaped Bolts that wrap around the circumference of the 1-Inch Tube creates a greater Surface Area Contact Point when applying Clamping Pressure. A Single-Bolt Design will cause a "Crushing Effect", while the Double U-Bolt Design ensures maximum Friction between the Tube and the Clamp will prevent any Sliding/Rotational Movement of the Pipe due to Weight/Vibration. Each U-Bolt has Reinforced Backing Plates and Heavy-Duty Nuts for precise Tightening. After being Torque-Tightened, the Connection becomes nearly as Permanent as Welding but still allows for Fine-Tuning should adjustments be needed to the Alignment of the Frame during the Construction Process.
These Cross Pipe Clamps have numerous uses for everyday tasks. They are commonly used in Greenhouse Framing Applications for securing Vertical Supports and Horizontal Purlin Frames so that they will withstand Wind Loads and the weight of Glass/Poly-Film Covers. In addition, these clamps are used in constructing Livestock Fencing, Chicken Coops/Garden Trellis's where a Professional Grade Finish is desired for Utility Structures. Additionally, these fixators are ideal for those who wish to build Custom Industrial-Style Furniture, i.e., Shelving Units/Clothing Racks/Work Benches from Galvanized Pipe. Since there are many types of Tubing/Conduit readily available through most Local Suppliers with a 1-Inch Capacity, this size meets Industry Standards for Compatibility.
Safety & Security are inherently built into the Heavy-Duty Nature of these Fixators. The Thickness of the Steel in the U-Bolts is Calibrated to withstand typical Shear Forces normally encountered in Scaffolding/Structural Racking. As each set contains 4 clamps, it provides enough Hardware to Secure all Four Corners of a Standard Rectangular Frame or to provide additional Bracing for an Existing Structure. Installation is very simple and requires only a Standard Wrench/Socket Set eliminating the need for Special Equipment or Technical Expertise. Due to this ease-of-installation and Rapid Deployment in the Field is possible allowing these to become Essential Items in Emergency Repairs and Temporary Installations. Overall and the 4-Pack Cross Pipe Clamp represents both Brute Strength and Simple Engineering Design and providing Reliable Long-Lasting Solutions to Creating Rigid Right-Angled Pipe Connections in Demanding Environments
