Details

The LC173 Single Swivel Combination fitting joins two tubes together into a tee joint similar to the LC101 Short Tee. However, this fitting does not keep the tubes fixed at 90 degrees, instead it can swivel to suit any angle necessary.

NOTE: you can't fix the angle using a bolt and nut. You need to secure the tube end into place.

Designed for both indoor and outdoor projects, it features our easy slip-on and tighten connection system which only requires a hex key to secure.

The LC173 is an aluminium alternative to the galvanised steel TC173 Single Swivel Combination.

Common Usage

The TC173 fitting can commonly be used within pipe structures, hand railings, racks and furniture.

Product FAQ

Which fitting size do I chose?

We offer fittings in various sizes that meet Australian standards, ranging from 21mm to 60mm.

To select the right fitting, measure the outside diameter (OD) of your pipe and choose the corresponding size. For example, a pipe with a 48mm OD requires a D48 fitting.

We also provide fittings for 50mm aluminium tubes and 25 x 25 or 40 x 40mm square hollow section steel bar.

Metric or Imperial?

You'll see a table that compares various international measurements in the 'Size Guide' section above.

Why is the fitting bigger then my tube?

Our fittings are intentionally made slightly larger than the pipes they correspond to, so that they can easily slide onto both straight and bent bars. If you're worried that the gap might be too big, you can try replacing the grubscrews/setscrews with longer ones.

What are your fittings made from?

Our Liteclamp range is made from a high strength Aluminium-Magnesum Alloy. Alternatively if you need a a stronger, less costly option you can try our Tubeclamp galvanised steel fittings.

Where can i find size specifications for each fitting?

You can easily locate size diagrams for most fittings in the example images provided for each product. These diagrams provide approximate measurements for each fitting size.
