Your easy choice for structural pipe fittings1-877-EASYFIT
This table gives an indication only of safe loads UNIFORMILY DISTRIBUTED, in pounds, that may be carried per “shelf” consisting of front and back pipes when used as “continuous” beams. Recommended set screw torque: 29 lbs/ft. For uneven load distributions or single spans, the required pipe size must be determined by standard bending movement calculations assuming an Easyfit joint to give a simply supported beam.
PLEASE NOTE: At loads greater than 2023 pounds, consideration must be given to set screw slip.
