Designed to give a 90 degree offset crossover joint. Frequently used on guardrailing, where, to reduce cost by minimizing the tube cuts, a continuous horizontal rail is used. Tube cannot be joined within this Kee Klamp fitting. It may be also used to give intermediate levels on racks, etc, when horizontal ties between uprights across the section are not required.

Note:Where dimension 'E' indicates two figures the 1st figure refers to socket 'A', the second refers to socket 'B' in the table.

Used on racking to join horizontal carrying rails to the upright, leaving the socket to take a horizontal tie across the section.
For shelved racking it is usual to have the horizontal tube outside the upright.
On pallet racking it is preferable to have the carrying rails inside the upright.

Types F50, M50, M51, M52, and M58
These are known as swivel fittings and can be assembled as Types C50, C51, C52, and C58 or supplied as separate items.
They are frequently used for bracing, but can also overcome problems where joints are required at angles other than given by fixed angle fittings. For economical use of tubing, Types F50, sizes 5-9 only, can be combined with different sizes of M50, M51, and M52.
Types M50, M51, and M52 can be used to secure various types of infill panel (ie chipboarding, plastic sheeting, etc.)

Warning! An entire structure should not be constructed from swivel fittings,
as these would not provide sufficient stability or rigidity in the structure.
