Shop Fit Clamps and Tube in Size 6 (33.7mm)
This is the parts page for shop fitters who know what they are building. Most shop fit work uses size 6 key clamps on 33.7mm galvanised tube, because it looks right and suits clothes hangers and shelving. Choose the size 6 option on each fitting, add tube in standard lengths or ask us to cut it to your lengths free, and we send a fully itemised quote within one hour in working hours.
Enquiries after 5pm and at weekends get a reply by 10am on the next working day. Stock orders go out for next-day delivery.
Size 6 Fittings Used in Shop Fits
Every fitting below is made in size 6. Order by code plus size: an A2 short tee for 33.7mm tube is an A2-6.
| Code | Fitting | What it does in a shop fit | Sizes made |
|---|---|---|---|
| A2 | Short tee | 90 degree tee between two tubes, for example an end post to a lower rail. It cannot join tube inside the top of the tee. | 5 to 9 |
| A18 | Top corner tee | Three way 90 degree corner. Top rails turning a corner, and corner joints on benches and tables. | 5 to 9 |
| A20 | Mid corner tee | 90 degree corner with the tube passing through. Lower rails, often with the A18. | 5 to 9 |
| A21 | Short swivel tee | Used in pairs to change the direction of a rail between 90 and 180 degrees. Needs a central tube at the angle change. | 6 to 8 |
| A22 | Cross tee | Joins a rail each side of a continuous post. | 5 to 9 |
| A24 | Three socket cross | Ties an upright to horizontal tubes in three directions. | 5 to 9 |
| A26 | Four socket cross | Ties a centre upright to four horizontals. Used in structures with many uprights, such as racking. | 5 to 9 |
| A28 | Cross over | 90 degree crossover. Connects a horizontal member to a vertical support on racking and garment rails. | 5 to 9 |
| A31 | Swivel tee | Offsets a rail from a post and rotates through 360 degrees. Use with an A10 for a wall mounted rail. | 6 to 8 |
| A34 | Handrail bracket | Carries a rail along a wall or fixes a structure back to a wall. Also used for hoardings and signs. | 5 to 8 |
| A37 | Single fixing pad | Attaches sheets of wood, metal or glass without cutting them to fit between the tubes. Shelves, signs and work surfaces. | 6 to 8 |
| A10 | Wall flange | Four holed plate. Ideal for securing garment railing structures to ceilings, and for rails that end on a wall. | 5 to 9 |
| A12 | Base plate | Base for a vertical post, with two set screws for a rigid fixing. | 5 to 9 |
| A58 | Collar | A stop for a sliding tube, support for a short tee used as a hinge, or added support for a heavily loaded clamp. | 5 to 8 |
| A64 | Hook | Attachment point for chain. | 5 to 8 |
| C07 | 45 degree tee | Bracing and strut for stiffening a frame. | 6 to 8 |
| C14 | Railing horizontal side support | A base for structures that need a side mounted fixing. | 6 to 8 |
| C65G | Metal end cap | Finishes a tube end. Hard to remove once driven in. Only for tube with a 3.2mm wall. | 5 to 9 |
| LSV-75 | Braked castor wheel | Makes a freestanding rail mobile, then locks it in place. | 6 |
Also in the range: mesh clips (C66 single, C67 double) fix standard mesh panels, spaced at no more than 450mm, and plastic end caps (C65P) finish plain tube ends in grey plastic. A68 is the plastic alternative to the C65G metal end cap.
The angled fittings in the shop fit range, for 11 to 45 degree joints (such as the C041, C042, C57, C58, C59 and C72), are made for sizes 7 and 8 only, not size 6. If your design has sloping rails, plan it in 42.4mm or 48.3mm tube, or ask us first.
Tube: Lengths and Free Cutting
Size 6 tube is 33.7mm outside diameter, 1 inch nominal bore. It comes in five standard lengths, or cut to your sizes free before despatch.
Give us a cutting list and we cut every rail and upright to length, so the parts arrive ready to build. For a fashion retailer converting an empty store, that meant 450 separate cuts of rail picked, cut and packed within 24 hours.
Orders that include tube cut to length can take two to three days, depending on your location and what you need.
Not Sure What You Need?
Send a sketch, a photo or your measurements. We draw it up free and quote within one hour.
Other Key Clamp Sizes
We stock every key clamp size, so heavier displays and structures can step up a size. Not every fitting is made in every size, so check the size options on each fitting.
| Size | Tube outside diameter | Nominal bore | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 26.9mm | 3/4" | Shop displays, light furniture |
| 6 | 33.7mm | 1" | Shop fitting, garment rails, shelving |
| 7 | 42.4mm | 1 1/4" | Handrails, guardrails, barriers |
| 8 | 48.3mm | 1 1/2" | Handrail uprights, guardrails, heavier barriers |
| 9 | 60.3mm | 2" | Structural posts, heavy-duty frames |
Sizes 5 to 7 are used for shelving, racking, benches and frames. See our guide to choosing the right key clamp size.
Fitting Specification
- Material: malleable iron castings, manufactured in excess of BS 6681 (ISO 5922) and BS 2789 (ISO 1083).
- Finish: hot-dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 as standard. Our tube in 3.2m and 6.4m lengths also conforms to BS EN ISO 1461.
- Set screws: Dacromat coated and case hardened. Tightened to 29 ft lb (4.1 kgm), each screw gives a slip load of 900kg.
- Assembly: tightens onto the tube with a hexagon key. No welding, drilling or threading.
- Tolerances: dimensions are guidance only, as these are galvanised castings. We do not recommend pre-drilling bolt holes before the fittings are on site.
Finishes
Fittings and tube are galvanised as standard. For a black or colour finish, ask for powder coating when you request a quote and we build it into the price. Some customers colour coat the parts themselves: for a pop-up shop at Bicester Village, the customer coated 1,890 fittings and 507 cut lengths bright pink to match the shop. For box section displays, see square fittings.

Shop Fit Clamp and Tube Questions
What size tube is used for shop fitting?
Most shop fit work uses 33.7mm tube, size 6. Every other key clamp size, from 26.9mm to 60.3mm, is available too.
How do I order the right size fitting?
Add the size number to the fitting code. An A2 short tee for 33.7mm tube is an A2-6, because size 6 is 33.7mm.
What lengths does the tube come in?
6.4m, 3.2m, 2.4m, 2.13m and 1.6m, or cut to your lengths free before despatch.
Do I need special tools?
No. Each fitting locks onto the tube with a set screw tightened with an Allen key. No welding, drilling or threading.
Can I fix glass or timber shelves to the frame?
Yes. The A37 single fixing pad attaches sheets of wood, metal or glass to the tube without cutting them to fit between the tubes. It is made in sizes 6 to 8.
Can I make sloping rails in size 6?
The angled fittings in our shop fit range are made for sizes 7 and 8 only. For sloping rails, plan in 42.4mm or 48.3mm tube, or call us to talk it through.
How fast do you quote?
Within one hour in working hours. After 5pm and at weekends, by 10am on the next working day.
