Pipeclamps

Pipeclamps connect scaffold tube and pipe sections together, forming the basic building block for staging, scenery frames and lighting support structures across theatre, TV and live events.

MTN Shop stocks the Doughty pipeclamp range, used wherever a strong, adjustable tube-to-tube or tube-to-fitting connection is needed on a temporary build. This selection focuses on straight and angled tee, elbow and crossover fittings; for the wider range of base flanges, swivel fittings and scaffold-style couplers, see our Key Clamps collection.

Doughty Pipeclamp Angled

Straight Tees, Elbows and Crossovers

The Pipeclamp Short Tee and Elbow 90° cover the most common straight and right-angle joins in a tube frame. The Two Socket Crossover joins three tube directions from a single fitting, and the Clamp On Tee attaches to an existing tube run without needing to cut into it.

Angled Pipeclamps (4-10°)

Where a frame needs to follow a slight incline rather than sit at a flat 90°, such as a ramp or angled scenery piece, the Angled Elbow 4-10°, Angled Single Socket Tee 4-10° and Angled Two Socket Tee 4-10° hold a fixed slight angle rather than a flat right angle.

Adjustable Angle Fittings

For angles beyond the fixed 4-10° range, the Two Socket Cross Adjustable Centre 30-60° covers a wider, adjustable range, useful where the exact angle needed varies between builds or isn't known until on site.

Tools

The Pipeclamp Allen Key is sized to tighten every fitting in this range, worth keeping on hand for maintenance or field adjustments.

Warranty and Standards

All pipeclamps sold by MTN Shop EU are genuine Doughty stock, sourced through official distribution, so full manufacturer warranty applies as it would from the brand directly. These fittings are rated for professional stage and studio rigging loads, suited to staging, scenery and lighting support structures.

Choosing Fixed or Adjustable Angle

Use a fixed 4-10° angled fitting where the incline is known and consistent across a build. Use the adjustable 30-60° fitting where the angle varies or needs to be set on site rather than specified in advance.

Preguntas frecuentes

The terms are often used interchangeably, but pipeclamps typically refer to the galvanized, screw-tightened tube fittings used in temporary staging and scenery builds, while key clamp usually describes the same style of fitting used in permanent handrail and barrier installations. The hardware itself works the same way in both cases.
These are general-purpose tube connectors suited to staging, scenery and lighting support frames, not certified lifting or suspension hardware. For anything supporting overhead loads above people, use load-rated hardware such as our beam clamps, girder clamps or half couplers, which carry a stated Working Load Limit.
Yes, a standard tee or elbow only holds a fixed 90° angle. If part of your frame needs to follow a ramp, angled scenery flat, or non-standard angle, you'll need the angled (4-10°) or adjustable (30-60°) fittings instead, or a swivel fitting from our Key Clamps range if the angle isn't fixed at all.
Yes, a standard tee is fitted while assembling the frame from scratch. A Clamp On Tee attaches to a tube that's already installed, without needing to disassemble the run, useful for adding a branch connection after the fact.
