    Rigid

    Swivel

    Build tube-and-clamp scaffolding and attach supports, such as railings, to frame-style structures. Also known as knuckles. These clamps fit the most common scaffold tube sizes. Made of galvanized steel, they are rust resistant and hold up in outdoor applications.
    Rigid—Rigid clamps create a secure 90° connection between two tubes.
    Swivel—Swivel clamps pivot to connect tubes at any angle.
    Specifications Met—Clamps meet OSHA and Cal/OSHA dimensional and construction standards. Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.

    Clamp-On Framing and Fittings

    Image of System. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Clamp-On Framing and Fittings. Clamp-On Framing and Fittings .
    Fittings come in two pieces to clasp over rails, making assembly and disassembly quicker than our other framing. Use it to form temporary partitions, modular conveyors, and workstations. To assemble, clamp fittings onto the rail and tighten the included cap screw and nut. For permanent connections and added strength, fittings have a 5/32" hole to drill in an additional screw (not included).
