Kee Klamp ®
A connection system that has
revolutionised tubular structures
Tubing is an inherently efficient structural component.
It combines strength with lightness and has no projecting
corners. It is inexpensive, can be obtained in a wide range of
sizes and thickness, and is freely available worldwide.
The difficulty arises in joining tube to form structures. Threaded
tube must be supplied in set lengths and is therefore relatively
expensive and inflexible in application. Welding is labour
intensive and requires a highly skilled workforce.
The answer is provided by the Kee Klamp Fitting
which has become the basis of a rigid tubular construction
system proven the world over. The underlying principle is
simple but highly effective - a slip-on fitting that can be used to
create versatile and rigid tubular structures.
The Kee Klamp principle has been developed and refined over
more than 60 years into an extensive range of fittings that
cater for all forms of tubular structure. The fittings range is
covered in this manual.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
SPECIFYING KEE KLAMP FITTINGS
Quality is the overriding priority at Kee Klamp Limited. It
begins in the foundry where all our fittings are manufactured
and galvanised to British Standard (ISO) Requirements, and
subject to stringent visual inspection on completion. Our
Structures Division uses only British Standard tube and designs
structures to British Standard Requirements.
The information contained in this manual includes everything required to
produce a full specification.
TÜV APPROVAL
The first number, followed by a dash (-) identifies the type of
Kee Klamp fitting.
TÜV, Europe’s leading Independent Testing
House, has approved the following
Kee Klamp fittings in
sizes 5 to 9:
10,A10,12,A12,14,15,16,17,19,19885,20,21,A21/A26,25,
26,27,28,29,30,35,A35,40,A40,45,A45,46,F50,M50,M51,
M52,BC53,55,56,M58,60,61,62,63,64,65,67,68,69,70,75,
86,87,88,89,114,115,121,145.
Every fitting is illustrated and accompanied by a table of sizes and weights.
Each fitting has a simple numerical code reference, which is unique and
differentiates it from every other fitting. The code defines the type of fitting and
the tube size, or sizes, it is designed to receive.
The single digit, following the dash, defines tube size. Two single digits after
the dash indicate that the fitting is designed to received two sizes of tube. The
Kee Klamp tube size codes (a choice of eight, numbered from 2-9) are shown
on pages 4-5 of this manual, where the Kee Klamp tube code is related to
actual tube dimensions (see Table page 5).
The maximum load of each fitting type is as stated on the TÜV
Certificate, a copy of which is available on request. The
technical descriptions featured in this manual have not been
part of the testing.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
No Kee Klamp fittings have been found to be hazardous within
the meaning of the COSHH Regulations 1988, assuming that
the materials are cut and assembled using normal pipe cutters,
saws and hexagonal keys.
Kee Klamp fittings are designed so that the need to weld tubes
is avoided - an added safety element since welding processes
do have COSHH implications, especially if the tube is pregalvanised or has any other pre-finish.

Kee Klamp Limited can provide general guidance on the use of
the fittings detailed in this manual. However, the nature of the
products means that the ultimate responsibility for selecting the
correct fitting for an application rests with the customer.
The customer should also ensure that any existing structure, to
which a Kee Klamp construction is being secured, is of
sufficient strength to support both the weight of the Kee Klamp
construction and the imposed loads applied, including
wind loads, snow loads and any other superimposed loads.

THE KEE KLAMP CONCEPT
THE KEE KLAMP FITTING
The simple but effective engineering principle of the Kee Klamp fitting is
the foundation of the most versatile tube connection system available.
There are many variations of fitting to suit wide-ranging applications,
providing the versatility to achieve virtually any structural configuration.
Kee Klamp fittings are iron castings manufactured to the requirements of
BS EN 1562 & 1563. A range of fittings to suit eight sizes of tube is
available. A simple hexagon key is the only tool required to create a
strong, rigid joint. A recessed set screw, tightened by the hexagon key,
firmly locks the tubing into the fitting. The set screw is
manufactured in case hardened steel and has Kee Koat® protection
against corrosion. This combined with the ThreadKoat® (patented)
factory applied coating for the threaded recesses, ensures that Kee Klamp
fittings achieve longer life and better corrosion resistance.
A Kee Klamp fitting (size 5 to 9) can support an axial load of 900 kg per
set screw with the set screw tightened to a torque of 4 Kgm (39 Nm or 29
lbs ft). This is normally obtained when the screw is fully tightened using a
ratchet wrench.

TUBE
FINISHES
Kee Klamp fittings are produced in a range of standard sizes
to suit steel tubing to BS EN 10255 (ISO 65), medium and
heavy gauge, from 13.5 mm to 60.3 mm outside diameter;
also equivalent sizes of tubing in other materials.
Kee Klamp fittings are supplied hot dip
galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461. Standard steel
tube is galvanised to the requirements of
BS EN 10255 (ISO 65).
Tubing to other specifications can be used, providing the
outside diameter is compatible with BS EN 10255 (ISO 65)
and wall thickness is not less than 3.2 mm.
COLOURS
In addition to this standard finish,
tube, fittings and accessories can be
supplied with polyester coating in
any RAL colour.
Tube sizes are shown in the table and sectional drawings
below.

The polyester coating is highly
durable and is usually applied to
products that are already
galvanised. Should damage occur
to the coating, corrosion is still
prevented.

Note: When Type 27 fittings are used in pairs (eg, on stairs or ramps), they will
not be handed. The set screws on one side will therefore face inwards on the stair
or ramp. For an alternative to this fitting, see Type 29. Weights given in the table

These are known as swivel fittings and can be assembled as Types
C50, C51, C52 and C58 or supplied as separate items. They are
frequently used for bracing, but can also overcome problems where
joints are required at angles other than given by fixed angle fittings.

For economical use of tubing, Types F50, sizes 5-9 only, can be
combined with different sizes of M50, MH50, M51, MH51 and
M52. Types M50, M51 and M52 can be used to secure various
types of infill panel eg, chipboarding, plastic sheeting etc.
Warning: an entire structure should not be constructed from
swivel fittings, as these would not provide sufficient stability or
rigidity in the structure.

Ideal when a structural fixing is required. Type 62 should
always be used to fix down guardrailing and balustrades.
The holes are of sufficient diameter (Ø) to give a good
fixing with either a mechanical or chemical anchor. The
two socket set screws in the vertical socket give greater
stability to the upright. It is recommended that the fixing
holes in the flange should be in line with the applied load.

Angle Base Flange
This fitting is similar to Type 62, but is used to set up the upright
at an angle between 45 degrees to 60 degrees. This fitting
should only be subjected to light loads due to its size and the
base fixing holes, which cannot be positioned at 90 degrees to
the applied load for normal staircase and ramp guardrail applications. For greater loads or other tube sizes, a Type 62 flange
is used and the upright bent to the required angle.

Standard Vertical Railing Base
This fitting is designed for palm fixing guardrailing and

Access to the top fixing hole is restricted by the position of
the flange to the barrel. When selecting a hexagon head
bolt or similar bolt fixing, the maximum length of the bolt
including the head must not exceed 25mm. (Refer to Table
page 35).

IN LINE CONSTRUCTION
Simple to Design and Specify
The modular Kee Klamp System
securely joins standard sizes of
Structural Steel Tube in almost any
configuration you can imagine.
Assembled on site, Kee Klamp
Guardrailing will accommodate most
variations between design drawings
and site requirements.
Cost Effective To Install
Low skill, No Welding, No Special
Tools Required. All Fittings slip over
tube and can be adjusted to the
required level and positioned before
tightening with a simple Hex Key.
Widest Range of Fittings
for Structural Tube
Just sketch out the Guardrail you
want to construct and check the
fittings you require
Combination fittings optimise the
strength to weight ratio and cost of
any structure, enabling different
diameters of tube to be used.
Meet Specified Loadings
Up to 1500 Newtons/ Metre
Use the Loadings Table opposite to
select the appropriate Tube Size
and Grade and the "Bay Size"
for the Guardrailing Uprights.
The same Design Loading can be
achieved by using either stronger
uprights and wider bays, or lighter
uprights set closer together.

The above bay sizes are based upon using the Kee Klamp type 62 base fitting fixed perpendicular to the line of the Handrails.
The figures shown in brackets are the required anchor pull out loads for the bay size indicated after all reduction factors have been applied.
Notes
• The Table is based on the maximum permissible bending moment of the tube
• All Rails same Tube Size as Uprights but in BS EN 10255 Medium Grade Tube
• Where Tube is to be used to form Ground Sockets:
Tube Size 6 fits inside Tube Size 7 Medium Grade only
Tube Size 8 fits inside Tube Size 9 All Grades
Specification Guidelines
The ultimate strength of any Guardrail is not only based on the materials used but also the Civil
Structure to which the Guardrail is fixed and on the fixings or anchors used. Specifiers should consult
a specialist fixings supplier for their current recommendation for anchors to meet different design
loadings.
Construction Guidelines
While specification of the type of anchors used in an individual project is beyond the scope of this
document, as a general rule of thumb the following example can be applied.
Using ground fix fitting number 62 to secure Guardrail to a concrete surface with the line of the
anchors at 90˚ to the line of the railings and with uprights spaced according to the loading chart
above, Mechanical Type Anchors of suitable dimensions will meet loadings up to 360N/m. For
loadings of 740N/m or 1500N/m a Chemical Type Anchor should be considered.

NB: When reducing fittings are being used care must be taken to use the
correct ‘x’ dimension.
Example, Type 10-87 (vertical tube size 8, horizontal tube size 7). To find
the correct length of the horizontal tube, the length ‘x’ is that for the size 8
vertical tube.
When using Types 35 and 40 the above ‘x’ dimension should be used.
Although guardrailing is normally constructed in size 6, 7 and 8 tubing,
Table 1 shows the cutting length for all Kee Klamp tube sizes, and can
therefore be applied to many other rectangular structures.

Longitudinal tubes are joined using fittings Type 14 or 18, which must be
positioned to occur at the edge of the Type 46 fitting, and must not all occur
in the same bay at alternate levels.
Spigots can be either tubes or rods, riveted into position, or the Kee Klamp
Type 18 fitting. When using the latter, a gap of 20mm must be allowed for
the set screw fixing.
NB: Dimension ‘L’ must be established by direct measurement, since it is
dependant on the proposed angle of the strut.

This construction is used when individual rails are required to be removable
and when the site is not straight and level. Slopes of up to 7° or radii
greater than six metres can be accommodated without bending the tubing.
When bending the tube around a corner, a Type 95 PGR spigot must be
included to prevent sagging. Holes of 15mm diameter must be drilled
through both walls of the upright, one at 25mm from the top of the upright
tube and the other on the centre line of any horizontal rails.

Table 22 gives an indication only of the safe load, in kg., that may be
carried between the above restraints by single tubes to
BS EN 10255 (ISO 65) when used as uprights.
The table gives an indication only of the safe load, uniformly distributed, in
kg., that may be carried per shelf consisting of front and back tubes when
used as continuous beams.
For uneven load distributions or single spans, the required tube size must be
determined by standard bending moment calculations assuming a Kee
Klamp joint to give a simply supported beam.
At loads greater than 900 kg consideration must be given to
set screw slip.

A “Tee” section test assembly was made using three 300mm lengths of
galvanized size 7 standard pipe held together by a socket Tee fitting
(code 25-7). The vertical leg of the test assembly was supported in a
standard railing flange (code 62-7). The completed assembly was then
rigidly attached to the vibration table.
The test assembly was initially assembled using standard set screws and
tested in this configuration. The standard set screws were then replaced with
the locking screws and the tests repeated.
Test Procedure
The test was conducted on a Ling 667 kg Electromagnetic vibration table.
The table was programmed to perform a resonance search between 25 and
350 Hz. and resonant frequencies were recorded and shown in Table 24.
During the resonance search amplification factors, Q, were measured at
each resonant frequency, the point of reference being the end of one
horizontal pipe. The table was then held at one of the resonant frequencies,
set in motion with a controlled acceleration level of 4g, and ran for a period
of six hours. This was repeated for three more resonant frequencies in
descending order of “Q” factor.
