When it comes to creating stable and flexible frameworks, the Combination Socket Tee and Crossover Tube Clamp 165 stands out as a reliable solution for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. Unlike traditional fittings that may require multiple pieces or complex welding, this all-in-one design simplifies assembly by allowing perpendicular tube intersections within a single component.
It’s perfect for scenarios where space is tight, or modifications need to be quick and reversible. Built to withstand heavy loads, it promotes safety and efficiency, reducing the risk of structural failures. Our customers love how it integrates effortlessly into scaffolding systems, railings, or custom furniture builds, saving time and costs without compromising on strength. With its galvanised finish, it resists rust even in outdoor or humid conditions, ensuring long-term performance you can trust.

This clamp shines in a variety of real-world uses, making it a go-to choice for diverse projects. In scaffolding and construction, it’s ideal for adding cross-bracing or intermediate supports without disrupting the main framework. Event planners rely on it for building temporary stages, barriers, or display stands that need quick setup and teardown. Industrial users appreciate its role in creating machine guards, conveyor systems, or storage racks where tubes must intersect cleanly. For home or workshop enthusiasts, it’s great for custom furniture, such as shelving units or garden structures. Its adaptability extends to agricultural setups, such as animal enclosures or greenhouse frames, where durability against the elements is key. No matter the application, the Clamp 165 ensures joints remain secure under vibration or load, enhancing overall stability.
Safety is paramount with the Tube Clamp 165, which is engineered to meet rigorous British Standards (BS EN 1562:1997 and BS EN 1563:1997) for malleable and spheroidal graphite cast iron, guaranteeing structural integrity and reliability. Always inspect clamps for damage before use and tighten set screws to the recommended torque (typically 40-50 Nm) to prevent slippage. It complies with health and safety regulations for load-bearing applications, but we recommend professional installation for high-risk environments such as elevated structures. For added peace of mind, this fitting undergoes quality testing to resist fatigue and corrosion, with a service life often exceeding 10 years in normal conditions. Maintenance is straightforward, simply clean with mild soap and water, avoiding abrasive chemicals. If you’re working in extreme weather or chemical-exposed areas, consider pairing it with protective coatings. We’re committed to sustainability; our galvanising process minimises environmental impact while maximising product longevity.
It combines both functions into a single fitting, allowing efficient 90-degree intersections without extra parts and saving time and reducing clutter in your build.
Slide it onto the main tube, insert the intersecting tube, and tighten the set screws with a hex key. No welding or special tools needed.
It’s optimised for steel or aluminium tubes with a 48.3mm diameter, but ensure the surfaces are clean for the best grip.
Yes, it supports up to 1,500kg when properly configured, but always consult load charts for your specific setup.
Simply loosen the set screws with a hex key (usually 6mm or 8mm depending on batch), slide the tubes out, and reposition. No permanent damage occurs, making it fully reusable.
It performs well under moderate vibration when properly torqued, thanks to the set screws’ positive grip. For high-vibration environments, we suggest periodic inspections and, if necessary, adding a thread-locking compound.
