Value Brand 30LX64 Rail Support Cast Iron 2 in Pipe

Structural Pipe Fitting for 2 in Pipe

This cast iron rail support fits 2 in nominal pipe and clamps on without welding. It is built to ASTM A47, ASTM A53 and ASTM B117 standards with a hot dip galvanized finish. The component suits modular handrail or guardrail assemblies in industrial and outdoor settings. Tensile strength is rated at 50000 lb.

Replaces Welded or Bolted Brackets

The clamp-on design removes the need for field welding or drilling when adding or repositioning a rail. The upgrade is worth it when the structure must be reconfigured quickly or when hot work permits are impractical. It also avoids the corrosion risk of exposed bolt threads on galvanized pipe. The fitting is not rated for fall prevention systems.

Limits of Clamp-On Cast Iron Fittings

Clamp-on mounting relies on friction and set-screw engagement, so axial loads above the rated tensile strength can cause slip. Cast iron is brittle compared with steel, so impact loads or overtightening may crack the body. The hot dip galvanized coating resists atmospheric corrosion but does not protect against sustained immersion or aggressive chemicals. The product carries no fall prevention rating.
