Doughty Pipeclamps for Rigging & Structural Assembly

Pipeclamps provide the fundamental connection points for constructing temporary and permanent structures in various production environments. These robust fittings are indispensable for AV technicians, theatre technicians, production managers, riggers, and live sound engineers who require reliable and adaptable solutions for building stages, lighting grids, scenic elements, and safety railings. The range of Doughty Pipeclamps available offers comprehensive solutions for diverse structural needs. This includes base flanges for secure ground or wall termination, handrail brackets, and a variety of tees and crosses for creating 90-degree connections or more complex multi-directional joints. Specialised fittings such as swivel combinations allow for angular adjustments, crucial for custom builds or adapting to irregular spaces. Key technical features across these pipeclamps include compatibility with 48mm diameter tubing, a standard in many rigging and staging applications. Many fittings, like the Railing Base Flange, feature large mounting holes (e.g., 14mm) to accommodate mechanical or chemical anchor fixings, ensuring maximum stability. Innovations such as clamp-on crossovers facilitate additions or upgrades to existing structures without requiring complete dismantling, enhancing efficiency on site. From constructing intricate racking systems with combination socket tees to securing mesh panels with purpose-designed clips, these pipeclamps are engineered for durability and ease of use. The precise design of components like the Angled Two Socket Cross or Angled Railing Base Flange allows for specific structural configurations, accommodating slopes or complex geometries. Whether for safety barriers, equipment supports, or architectural elements, these fittings deliver the necessary strength and flexibility for demanding professional applications.
