1 Fittings & Technical Guide

2 Introduction The safe clamping system for circular hollow section tube ccess Technologies Limited was established in 1995 to manufacture access equipment for the onstruction Industry. The Fastlamp brand followed as a natural progression four years later and has since grown to become one of the premier ranges of slip on tubular fittings available today. Fastlamp is a range of fittings manufactured from Malleable Iron to S EN 1562 or uctile Iron (where noted in the fittings description) to S EN Fastlamp fittings are used to construct lightweight tubular steel structures and are manufactured to suit five different tube sizes. Fastlamp fittings require no welding, drilling or special tools, simply use a hexagon key to tighten the special setscrews that embed into the tube. Fastlamp fittings will support an axial load of up to 900 kg when tightened to a torque of 39Nm. FINISHES VILLE Fastlamp castings are Hot dip Galvanised to S EN ISO 1461 as standard. Fastlamp fittings can also be supplied in a powder coated finish to RL standard colours, subject to quantity and availability from the coaters mm 33.7mm FSTLMP SELETION Fastlamp fittings are suitable for use with steel tubes to S EN with a minimum wall thickness of 3.2mm, however please note that internal fitting types: 01, 06, 65, -02 & -06 are only designed for use with 3.2mm thick tube. Product codes are constructed as follows: No. G P S No. = Fastlamp = Fastlamp type = Galvanised = Plastic = Stainless Steel = Tube size Example: 00G20 is a Fastlamp, type 00, galvanised and suitable for 26.9mm diameter tube.

3 pplication Guidelines Racking and general structures Racking and general structures can be constructed using Fastlamp fittings. are must be taken to ensure that the tube size selected is adequate for the loads anticipated. To help with the selection of the correct tube, table 1 provides the uniformly distributed loads that can be supported between upright posts, assuming that the load is supported by two tubes. These loads are calculated based on the maximum bending movement for the tube. Table 2 provides the load capacity for single upright posts with various unsupported lengths. These loads are based on the compression strength and buckling loads of the circular hollow section (HS) tube. Vertical strut load capacity Vertical load in kg per strut Table 2 Length (m) 26.9mm x mm x 3.2 Tube Ø 42.4mm x mm x mm x N. When designing structures care must be taken to ensure that the load on any one grub screw does not exceed 900kg. For further help in using Fastlamp please contact our sales office. Horizontal tubes load capacity Uniformally distributed load in kg using two horizontal tubes Table 1 Span (m) 26.9mm x mm x 3.2 Tube Ø 42.4mm x mm x mm x Grade: S EN (ISO 65) Guardrail Guardrail is the most common form of structure that is built with Fastlamp fittings and requires careful consideration to meet required design loadings. esign loads are usually specified, however if unsure S 6399 and S 6180 are good reference documents. The loading capacity of any guardrail structure is determined principally by the diameter, thickness and frequency of its Uprights. The table below contains our recommendations to safely meet the stated design loads based on the maximum permissible bending moment of the Upright tube.

19 Roof Edge Protection Fastlamp fittings are used in construction of efender Roof Edge Protection systems. Our systems are freestanding, with no requirement for fixings or drilling and subsequently no repair to the roof membrane, suitable for flat roofs up to 3º pitch. The systems can be configured to satisfy the requirements of S EN ISO part 3 or the load and deflection requirements of S EN lass. efender Roof Edge Protection systems operate on a counterbalance principle using curved PV counterweights as the main component. galvanised malleable iron foot with a protective rubber base supports the handrail post; this includes an integral toeplate facility which is a fundamental requirement if there is no perimeter edge upstand. ll systems feature 1100 mm tall factory preassembled uprights that include open cradle fittings allowing the handrail tube to be quickly dropped into place instead of the time consuming process of the tube being fed through several fittings as required with other systems, speeding up assembly and saving cost. EONOMY SYSTEM simple and cost effective way of protecting roof edges. For more information on efender Roof Edge Protection please contact our Sales Office on enefits of efender Roof Edge Protection System is effectively maintenance free with hot dip galvanised fittings and tube to S EN ISO 1461 Recycled PV counterweights For use on asphalt, coated steel sheeted, concrete or mineral felt roofs Rapid installation, no special tools or specialised labour required No on site welding or bending required ase fitting allows option of installing uprights up to 11º from vertical olt on toeplate available to comply with HSG 33.
