Hinged Tube Connectors

Hinged joints for tubes

The Elesa catalogue is packed full of standard components for every industry, all helpfully categorised into product families to make it simple to find the part you need.

One of our product families is connecting clamps, where you will find a range of clamps for tubes for the construction of modular structures. These components are available in square or round cross-section variations for use with protective devices, barriers, housings, and frames of any type.

Made from aluminium, stainless steel, and technopolymer, they are widely used in building construction, mining, shipbuilding, fresh water supply and wastewater treatment, and construction installations for gas, liquids, and solids transfer.

To work alongside our wide range of connecting clamps, we supply a selection of hinged joints for tubes made from the highest quality materials:

  • Aluminium
  • Stainless steel
  • Technopolymer

Mounting base for hinged joints

These technopolymer bases are used to create a hinged joint. They are available with external teeth to be joined to a clamp with internal teeth, or without to join a clamp without teeth.

Joints comprising bases with external teeth and clamps with internal teeth have a 10° adjustment angle, while joints comprising bases and clamps without teeth can be positioned at any angle.

The bases are supplied with stainless steel cylindrical-head screws that feature anti-seizure treatment and a hexagon socket.


Pivoting connecting clamp bases

These bases are available in aluminium or stainless steel and are compatible with the following Elesa pivoting connecting clamps:

  • GN271 clamp bases: can be assembled with GN 273, GN 275, and GN 277 clamps.
  • GN271-NI clamp bases: can be assembled with GN 273-NI, GN 275-NI, and GN 277-NI clamps.
  • GN272 clamp bases: can be assembled with GN 274, GN 276, and GN 278 clamps.

Pivoting connecting clamps

Our aluminium and stainless steel clamps allow an excellent match with tubes GN 990


Clamps for hinged joints

These clamp components are made from technopolymer—a material that is as strong as metal but as lightweight as plastic. It is resistant against heat and corrosion and allows for finishes in different colours. The clamps for hinged joints come in versions with external teeth to be joined to a clamp with internal teeth, or without to join a clamp without teeth.


Hinged joint with mounting base and clamp

Made from durable technopolymer, these joints are available with differing specifications. Joints comprising bases with external teeth and clamps with internal teeth have a 10° adjustment angle. Joints comprising bases and clamps without teeth can be positioned at any angle.

These clamps are suitable for tubes with a diameter of 30 ± 0.2 mm. The Elesa hole reduction sleeve TCC-A can be used with this component.

You can find the complete range of Elesa hinged joints for tubes, as well as Ganter connection joints, in the Elesa catalogue.
