Details

The TC173M fitting joins onto a tube and is often used as a component within the TC173 Swivel Combination. However this fitting can also be used as a stand alone piece to mount signs and shelving similar to the TC199 Single Lug Bracket.

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 TC173M fitting is commonly used within pipe structures, railings, furniture and for mounting signage (or other flat, lightweight solid surfaces).

Frequently Asked Questions

Which fitting size do i chose?

We offer fittings in six different sizes according to Australian standard pipe sizes, ranging from 21mm to 60mm. To select the right fitting, simply measure the outside diameter (OD) of your pipe and choose the corresponding fitting size.

For example, if your pipe has a 48mm outside diameter, you would select the D48 fitting size.

Metric or Imperial?

You'll see a table that compares various international measurements in the 'Size Guide' section below the product details at the top of this page.

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.
