Malleable iron tube clamps: what it does and how it works
Tube clamps are galvanized malleable iron connectors that fit over tubes and lock with set screws, joining tubes into structures — handrails, frames, racks, barriers and equipment supports — without welding or threading.
Per the MECH catalogue they come in sizes S – E for 3/8″ to 2″ tube (17.2 – 60.3 mm OD), including tees, crosses, elbows, base flanges, swivels and handrail brackets.

Size by outside diameter
The clamp is chosen by the actual tube outside diameter (letter S to E), and the set screw is tightened enough to lock the tube without deforming it.
Caution
These fittings are for structures and handrails, not pressure joints for conveying fluids.
Installation steps
- Cut tubes to length and deburr.
- Fit the clamps and push the tubes fully home.
- Align, then tighten the set screws.
- Fix the bases to floor or wall with suitable anchors.
Common mistakes
- Choosing by nominal bore instead of outside diameter.
- Over-tightening and deforming the tube.
- Using them as joints on pressure pipes.
