Kee Lite® Aluminium Railings

A heavyweight in being lite

Kee Lite^® is made from a high-grade aluminium silicon magnesium alloy. This makes it a highly flexible, lightweight solution for creating safety barrier systems – in fact it’s only one-third the weight of iron fittings, with about 75% comparable tensile strength. Kee Lite aluminium fittings are also incredibly corrosion resistant, durable, economical and ideal for projects from contemporary to industrial.

Why do you need Kee Lite^®?

Innovative Approach

Kee Lite^® aluminium fittings are a lightweight, versatile, economical system ideal for constructing safety barriers, railings, racks, greenhouses, structural frameworks and more. Its recessed stainless steel grub screw is corrosion-resistant, and the components can be powder-coated for further protection.

Lightweight, Corrosion Resistant

All fittings are made from high-grade aluminium silicon magnesium alloy (A356-T6) creating a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to steel. Kee Lite^® is actually only one-third the weight of our iron components, with about 75% of the comparable tensile strength.

Easy to Assemble

All you need to install the Kee Lite^® system is a standard hex key and tube cutters – no welding or threading is needed. This also means you don’t need hot-permits or specialised labour. In addition to this, everything can be assembled and tailored with ease on site.

Frequently Asked Questions

- Are Kee Lite fittings available with alternative finishes?
  
  Kee Lite fittings can be powder coated to your colour needs on a special order basis.
- What are Kee Lite fittings used for?
  
  The most common applications for Kee Lite fittings is handrail and guardrail, the contours designed into Kee Lite components give a smoother appearance and better look than typical non welded systems. Various other tubular-structures such as retail store fixtures, soft contained play systems, awning, fencing, machinery framework, can be economically produced with Kee Lite fittings.
- What are Kee Lite structural slip-on tube fittings?
  
  Kee Lite structural slip-on tube fittings are made from a high grade Aluminium Silicon Magnesium Alloy. Kee Lite components are used in conjunction with BS EN 755 Aluminium tube to build structures of unlimited size and scope. Stainless steel grub screws attach the fittings securely around the tube. There is no welding, drilling, or bolting required when building with Kee Lite components. The only tools required for building Kee Lite structures are a tube cutter and a standard hex key.
- Which sizes of tube can I use with Kee Lite fittings?
  
  Most types of Kee Lite fittings are available to suit tube sizes 33.7mm o/d (size 6), 42.4mm o/d (size 7) & 48.3mm o/d (size 8) and even a few to suit 60.3mm o/d (size 9). Please refer to brochure to check availability.
- Does the size of the grub screw matter?
  
  Yes, the size and style of grub screw does matter. The large grub screw with a hardened cup point used in Kee Lite fittings cut into the tube and provides the highest rated slip load in the industry.
- What style or types are available?
  
  The Kee Lite range is a product line that is expanding constantly. Please check our updated online catalogue for the current availability.
- What type of pipe or tubing can be used with Kee Lite fittings?
  
  Kee Lite fittings are designed to be used with Aluminium Tubing to BS EN 755.
- What is the recommended torque for the grub screws?
  
  When constructing with Kee Lite fittings we recommend that you tighten the grub screw to 29 lbs./ft. or 39 Nm. This is approximately hand-tight. Apart from size 6 Kee Lite components. The setting for tightening the grub screw for this size components is 25 Nm ( 19 lb.ft). The theoretical design slip load ( factored ) per grub screw will be around 4.90 KN at this reduced torque setting.
- What quality certifications has Kee Lite attained?
  
  The majority of the Kee Lite components range are TUV tested and approved.
- Will Kee Lite fittings corrode if used outdoors?
  
  Kee Lite fittings are Aluminium Silicon Magnesium Alloy (A 356-T6) - a highly corrosion resistant alloy. Kee Lite components are fitted with Stainless Steel grub screws to resist corrosion.
- Will the fittings or the grub screw strip tightening to 29 lbs./ft 39Nm?
  
  No, the large diameter grub screws and the British Standard Thread used, along with the alloy of the component, give you the correct combination to create a strong mechanical joint between the fitting and the tube.
- What size hex key is used with Kee Lite fittings?
  
  Kee Lite fittings use the following imperial hex key sizes. Size 6 (33.7mm o/d) uses ¼” A.F. (across the flats), Kee Lite components for sizes 7 to 9 (42.4mm o/d to 60.3mm o/d) uses 5/16” A.F. (across the flats). The ability to use ¼” and 5/16” hex keys makes building a structure with Kee Lite fittings quick and easy.
- How do I install Kee Lite fittings?
  
  Installation instructions are available for Download under our "Resources" section, or by contacting us directly and requesting instructions.
- What about the fittings being tampered with?
  
  Grub screw inserts are available to deter tampering with a finished Kee Lite structure.
