- Versatile Compatibility: The Type 72 fitting integrates seamlessly with a wide range of handrail pipe fittings, making it an ideal choice for modular guardrail systems, including those utilizing Kee Klamp pipe fittings, Kee clamps, and key clamp handrail systems.
- Galvanised Durability: Constructed from high-quality galvanised steel, it provides exceptional resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-term performance in harsh environments such as outdoor stairways and industrial facilities.
- Secure Installation: If Kee Klamp fittings like the Type 72 are to be used in permanent applications or subjected to high loads, the stair tread support tube, which is secured at its ends with a single set screw, should be drilled and pinned to prevent rotational slip.
- Modular System Integration: Works seamlessly with other Kee Klamp railing and key clamp fittings, allowing for quick and efficient assembly without the need for welding.
- Enhanced Safety Compliance: Ideal for use in Kee Safety railing systems where compliance with safety standards is crucial, offering reliable support for stair treads in public and private spaces.
- Industrial staircases: Supporting heavy-duty stair treads in warehouses, factories, and construction sites.
- Commercial settings: Providing secure stair solutions for retail stores, offices, and public buildings.
- Residential applications: Ideal for DIY projects, including home staircases and outdoor steps using key clamp handrail fittings.
- Access Solutions: Used in conjunction with other Kee Klamp handrail system components to create safe and durable stair access points
