Details

The SQ173 Box Swivel Tee Combination fitting joins two square (SHS) bars together into a tee joint similar to the SQ101 Box 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.

Common Usage

The SQ173 fitting can be used within pipe structures, hand railings, racks and furniture.

We commonly see fittings of this type used in railing applications on uneven ground. It can be used on the top of uprights to support the railing, and at the end of sections to terminate the mid-rails.

-For a fitting to suit circular tube instead use TC173 Single Swivel Tee Combination.

Product FAQ

Which fitting size do I chose?

We offer our Boxclamp fittings in two sizes according to Australian standard square bar sizes, ranging from 25 x 25mm to 40 x 40mm.

To select the right fitting, simply measure the outside diameter (OD) of your pipe and choose the corresponding fitting size.

For example, if your bar has a 40mm outside diameter, you would select the SHS 40x 40mm fitting size.

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 Tubeclamp fittings are made from Galvanised Steel. Alternatively you can check out of range of Aluminium fittings, or consider having your fittings powder coated.

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.
