Build taller structures from your anchored base using our long tee 104 to extend verticals and add branches, or add base-level horizontals with the short tee 101 for quick 90° connections in handrails, racking, or frames.
This versatile clamp shines in a range of scenarios where you need a secure base for tubular systems. It’s commonly used in scaffold tube and fitting setups to support vertical standards, ensuring everything stays upright and safe during construction or maintenance work. Beyond that, it’s ideal for creating custom handrails along walkways, staircases, or balconies, providing that extra grip and stability for users. In retail or warehouse environments, it helps build sturdy racking systems for storage or display. Event planners love it for temporary structures such as exhibition frames, signage stands, and even park play area barriers. For industrial trolleys or bays, it offers a dependable anchor point that handles daily wear and tear. Whatever your project, this clamp adapts seamlessly, saving you time and hassle while delivering professional results.
Safety is non-negotiable when working with structural components, and the Base Plate Tube Clamp 132 is built with that in mind. Its galvanised finish meets BS EN 1461:1999 standards, offering superior protection against rust and environmental damage, thereby extending the product’s lifespan and reducing the risk of failure over time. Always secure the base to a solid surface using appropriate bolts (not included) to prevent tipping or movement under load. We recommend regular inspections for wear, especially in high-traffic or exposed areas, and adhering to load limits based on your overall structure’s design. For heavy-duty applications, consult an engineer if needed. This clamp complies with general UK construction safety guidelines, but it’s your responsibility to ensure it fits within local regulations. For peace of mind, it’s tested for strength and durability, making it a trustworthy choice for both temporary and permanent installations. Remember, proper installation is key: tighten those grub screws firmly but avoid over-torquing to prevent damage.
Simply insert the tube into the spigot, tighten the two grub screws with a hex key, and bolt the base plate to the ground using the pre-drilled holes. It’s quick and tool-friendly.
No, grub screws are included for the tube, but ground bolts are sold separately to match your surface.
It’s designed for 48.3mm-diameter tubes, but we also offer variations in other sizes like 26.9mm, 37.7mm, and 42.4mm—just drop us a line to check availability.
Yes, as long as the paint is smooth and not flaking. The grub screws bite into the surface effectively. For very thick coatings, lightly sand the contact area or use slightly longer grub screws if needed (we can advise on sizes).
Aim for 50-60mm of insertion into the spigot for best stability; deeper is better for load-bearing applications. The 89mm spigot height gives plenty of room, but never rely on partial insertion, especially under lateral forces.
Hot-dip galvanising provides good protection against salt spray for occasional or seasonal use, but in constant, harsh coastal conditions, consider stainless steel alternatives or regular rinsing. It’s better suited for inland or sheltered outdoor projects.
