2-1/2" x 1-5/8" End Rail Clamp For Chain Link Fences
2-1/2" x 1-5/8" End Rail Clamp For Chain Link Fences
Also known as a Gate T, the chain link fence end rail clamp is used to secure two pieces of fence pipe into a perpendicular, T-shaped formation. Sturdy, easy to use, and reliable, it is a common component for installing both commercial and residential settings. Superior rust resistance lends great resilience to the elements and extra longevity.
Installing this chain link fitting is simple. End rail clamps come are made of two identical halves that, when put together, form a pair of braces. Enclose the shorter “brace” around the center of one pipe—this creates the horizontal shaft at the top of the T-formation. Next, insert the end of the second pipe into the longer “brace” underneath, thereby creating the T’s vertical shaft. Gently work the second pipe down so that its end sits just beneath the square-shaped hole in the lower “brace.” Insert a carriage bolt (sold separately) through the hole and out the other side. Tighten using a screw on the opposite side to secure the two pieces together.
