Kee Klamp
Galvanized Steel Components
steel pipe is an inherently efficient structural component. it is strong, has no sharp corners, and is readily available worldwide. the difficulty in using steel pipe to form structures arises when joining. threaded pipe must be supplied in set lengths making for zero flexibility in installation. welding is labor intensive, requires a highly skilled workforce, and specialized equipment. the answer is Kee Klamp components. the underlying principle is simple but highly effective: use slip-on components to create versatile and rigid tubular structures. the Kee Klamp principle has been developed and refined for more than 75 years resulting in an extensive range of components suited for any need.
engineering
the engineering principle behind the Kee Klamp component is the foundation of the most versatile pipe connection system available. we provide the versatility needed to achieve virtually any structure configuration. Kee Klamp fittings are iron castings manufactured to the requirements of astm a47-7732510. we have engineered a range of components to suit eight different sizes of pipe. hexagon set screws firmly lock the component to the pipe. set screws are manufactured in case hardened steel and are protected against corrosion with our unique protectant called Kee Koat. a Kee Klamp component (size 5 to 9) can support an axial load of 2000 lbs. per set screw with the set screw tightened to a torque of 29 lbs./ft. (rating includes a safety factor of 2:1). this is normally obtained when the set screw is fully tightened using a ratchet wrench.

Swivel Fittings
types f50, m50, mh50, m51, mh51, m52, and m58 are known as swivel fittings and can be assembled as types c50, ch50, 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 those achieved by fixed angle fittings. for economical use of pipe, when making 'c' fittings, or combination fittings, types f50 (sizes 5-9 only) can be combined with different sizes of types m50, mh50, m51, mh51, m52, and m58. f50-4 and m50-4 will only combine with each other. warning: an entire structure should not be constructed from swivel fittings, as they would not provide sufficient stability or rigidity in the structure. types M50, MH50, M51, M52 and M58 can also be used separately to secure various types of in-fill panel. These fittings are not designed to take bending moments.
this fitting can be used for attaching flat panels to tubular structures. specially designed for retail shelving applications. can also be used as part of a type ch50 combination fitting.

Kee lite
aluminum Safety Components
Kee lite components are made from a high grade aluminum silicon magnesium alloy and provide you with a lightweight, corrosion resistant, and strong alternative for fabrication of pipe structures. the components offer flexibility and can be used for a variety of applications from contemporary to industrial; your imagination is the only limitation. Because Kee lite can be easily installed with a hex tool and pipe cutters, there is no need for welding, saving you both time and money. Kee lite is securely locked into place using recessed set screws that provide a sleek and smooth look to your railing system or pipe structure.
engineering
Kee lite offers lightweight and versatile safety solutions. when Kee lite fittings in sizes 7, 8, 9 are used to construct 42 high guard railing, the railing will meet the requirements of the osha design standard of a single 200 lb. load applied at any location along the top rail when the correct specification of pipe is used, and the correct method of design is employed. the integrity of the structure to which the system is secured, and the hardware used will also need to be checked to ensure they are capable of meeting the imposed load requirements (reference osha 29 cfr 1910.23). please contact Kee safety for design assistance.

types lf50, lm50, lm51, lm52, and lm58 are known as swivel fittings and can be assembled as types lc50, lc51, lc52, and lc58 or supplied as separate items. they are frequently used for bracing but can also overcome problems where joints are required at angles other than those achieved by fixed angle fittings. when making 'c' fittings, or combination fittings, types lf50 can be combined with different sizes of type 'm' fittings, or male components. warning: An entire structure should not be constructed from swivel fittings, as they would not provide sufficient stability or rigidity in the structure. Types LM50, LM51, LM52 and LM58 can also be used separately to secure various types of in-fill panel. These fittings are not designed to take bending moments.

Kee access
aDa Components
Kee safety has developed the Kee access railing system specifically to equip architects, engineers, specifiers, builders, and contractors with the components necessary to easily construct and retrofit commercial and public structures to satisfy the requirements of the americans with disabilities act (ada), as well as state and local building codes. Kee access components were designed for constructing of smooth handrail gripping surfaces using standard 1-1/4" schedule 40 pipe. the Kee access railing system is a cost effective ada handrail solution suitable for stairs, ramps, or walkways. an ada handrail is a framework of horizontal rails supported by vertical uprights, or posts.
engineering
the modular Kee access components securely join standard sizes of schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe. any Kee access railing system can be easily installed with a hex tool and pipe cutters, and therefore easily assembled without specialized workers or equipment, saving you both time and money. components, including schedule 40 pipe, are galvanized, for low long-term maintenance and can be powder coated to your choice of ral colors. Kee safety has a solution for ever y environment and situation. Kee Klamp components can be implemented alongside Kee access components to create a complete line of complementary galvanized components. send us your drawings, sketches, or layout for a complete detailed proposal.

exhaustive tests on samples of standard size 7 Kee Klamp fittings were performed by an independent research laboratory. the purpose of the test was to evaluate the use of either standard set screws or self-locking set screws.
test arrangement
a tee section test assembly was made using three 12 ft. lengths of galvanized size 7 standard pipe held together by a three socket tee fitting (type 25-7). the vertical leg of the test assembly was supported in a standard railing flange (type 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 self-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 20. 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
