The TC136 Split Tee fitting joins two tubes into a tee joint. It is used to efficiently clip new tubing over existing structures so you do not have to restructure, or dismantle them. It is a quick and fast solution and will save your time. It has the same strength and functions comparably to TC101 Short Tee fittings. The TC136 does not join crosses or overlapping tubes.

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. Alternative to TC135 Clamp on Tee or TC136YD Add on Tee & Cross

Common Usage

We commonly see this fitting used in tube structures. Specially it is primarily used to build onto existing structures where dismantling part or whole of the structure is not an option.

It can be used to join tubes at any angle perpendicular to the structure it is connected to. For example attaching sign posts to a trolley bay, or attaching additional shelves to a existing clothes rack.

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 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.
