looking for brackets to clamp 3/4" solid rod Ned to use similr to pipe fitings but 4 3/4 rod.?

Question

These types of fittings are more commonly used to build hand rails and shelf racks. For these kind you just slip a pipe in and tighten a bolt. I need a smaller version for 3/4" rod. I would like to bolt this bracket down to a table and clamp rod into it. For my application I need to raise off the table about 12 inches and then clamp an elbow to clamp a 3/4" shaft out at a 90 degree angle.

Answer 1

Look in the hardware store in the conduit section, they use these for 1/2in, 3/4, etc.

Answer 2

I constantly use what is called "Unistrut" or "Kindorf". They are both brand names.
It is U shaped heavy steel bracketing used for hanging pipe, conduit, equipment, etc. It has holes punched in it for mounting, comes in 10' lengths you can cut pieces to any length you want.
Then you can get a clamp for your pipe size that slips into the strut. Tighten the bolt on the clamp - you're done.
They also make cushioned clamps called "Hydra - Zorbs" which have a plastic insert to slip over the pipe and isolate it from the strut and to isolate vibration. You can also get 90 and 45 degree brackets, crow's feet brackets and other brackets. You can build whatever you want with this stuff.
Not sure if Home Depot, Lowes has it but you can get it at a wholesale electrical supply house or an HVAC wholesaler if either will sell to you.
