Kee Klamp® has a lightweight brother

Kee Klamp® fittings have long been the most versatile tube connection system available. Kee Lite fitting extends that versatility to circumstances where lighter weight and more corrosion resistance becomes an advantage. A complete range of fittings in various sizes and shapes gives you the capacity to build just about any tubular structure you can imagine.

Benefits of Kee Lite Fittings

Versatile and Effective

Kee Lite aluminium fittings are a lightweight versatile, economical system that’s ideal for any kind of tubular structure. Each component is corrosion resistant and can be powder-coated for further protection.

Lightweight, Corrosion Resistant

All fittings are made from high-grade aluminium silicon magnesium alloy (A356-T6) creating a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to steel. Kee Lite is actually only one-third the weight of our iron components, with about 75% of the comparable tensile strength.

Easy to Assemble

All you need to install the Kee Lite system is a standard hex key and a tube cutter – no welding or threading is needed. This also means you don’t need hot permits or specialized labour. In addition to this, everything can be assembled and tailored with ease on site.

Kee Lite® Range Extension

A collection of new fittings extends our reach into the wastewater and safe access sector

In 2016, we launched several new Kee Klamp fittings that made stairway railing easier and more efficient to install. We are now extending the Kee Lite range to include all of these fittings in aluminium.

Aluminium fittings are lighter to ship and more corrosion resistant than galvanised steel fittings in certain applications. These fittings will also help to build a standard range of aluminium stepovers and extend our offering in aluminium safe access solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

    • What are Kee Lite fittings used for?
      The most common applications for Kee Lite fittings is hand rail and guard rail, the contours designed into Kee Lite fittings give a smoother appearance and better look than typical non-welded systems. Various other tubular-structures such as retail store fixtures, soft contained play systems, awning, fencing, machinery framework, can be economically produced with Kee Lite Fittings.
    • What is a Kee Lite structural slip-on tube fitting?
      Kee Lite structural slip-on tube fittings are made from a high grade Aluminum Silicon Magnesium Alloy. Kee Lite fittings are used in conjunction with BS EN 755 Aluminum pipe to build structures of unlimited size and scope. Case hardened grub screws attach the fittings securely around the pipe. There is no welding, drilling, or bolting required when building with Kee Lite fittings. The only tools required for building Kee Lite structures are a pipe cutter and a standard hex key.
    • What style or types are available?
      The Kee Lite range is a product line that is expanding constantly. Please check our updated online catalog for the current availability.
    • Are there Kee Klamp components available to modify or extend an existing tube structure?
      Kee Lite fittings are available anodized or powder coated to any RAL color requirements on a special order basis.
    • Which sizes of tube can I use with Kee Lite fittings?
      Most types of Kee Lite fittings are available for nominal tube sizes 1" (33.7mm OD) and 2" (60.3mm OD).
    • Does the size of the grub screw matter?
      Yes, the size and style of grub screw does matter. The large grub screw with a hardened cup point used in Kee Lite fittings cut into the tube and provides the highest rated slip load in the industry.
    • What is the recommended torque for the grub screws?
      When constructing with Kee Lite fittings we recommend that you tighten the grub screw to 29 lbs./ft. or 39 Nm. This is approximately "hand-tight." The only exception is size 6 Kee Lite fittings. The setting for tightening the grub screw for this size fitting is 25 Nm ( 19 lb.ft). The theoretical design slip load ( factored ) per grub screw will be around 4.90 KN at this reduced torque setting.
    • What quality certifications has Kee Lite attained?
      The majority of the Kee Lite fittings range are TUV tested and approved.
    • What type of pipe can be used with Kee Lite fittings?
      Kee Lite fittings are designed for use with Schedule 40 or 80 aluminum pipe. View our "Tech Spec" section to the left, or Download a Catalog, for a pipe size chart.
    • Will Kee Lite fittings corrode if used outdoors?
      Kee Lite fittings are Aluminum Silicon Magnesium Alloy (A 356-T6) a highly corrosion resistant alloy. If conditions, require the fittings can be anodized for additional corrosion resistance. Kee Lite grub screws are treated with our Kee Koat® finish to resist corrosion. In Salt Spray test the Kee Koat corrosion resistance was equal to Stainless Steel grub screws in an aluminum fitting. Copies of the salt spray tests available upon request by contacting Kee Industrial Products.
    • Will the fitting or the grub screw strip tightening to 29 lbs./ft 39Nm?
      No, the large diameter grub screws and the British Standard Thread used, along with the alloy of the fitting, give you the correct combination to create a strong mechanical joint between the fitting and the tube.
