Structure Fittings Support Overview
Support fittings (catalogued as SPT series) provide auxiliary or lateral support off the main structural tubes. They allow attachments or smaller support arms to connect to the main frame. These slide onto the main tubes and are fixed via grub screws. The catalogue defines parameters such as h, L, and d for each nominal bore size. They are intended to carry side loads, instrumentation, or secondary supports from the main frame without stressing the primary glass-handling structure. Their modular design facilitates adjustment or relocation.

**Materials & Features**
– Cast iron or optionally stainless steel
– Internal bore matches main tube OD
– Secured via grub screws
– d dimension denotes the diameter of the supporting arm/hole
**Design Considerations**
– Ensure adequate overlap and engagement length with main tube
– Check side load on d dimension arm to avoid bending
– Use bracing or support to avoid undue torque
– For corrosive or moist conditions, choose stainless variants
Applications
Support fittings are utilized when:
– Side arms or auxiliary loads must be hung off the primary frame
– Instrumentation, sensors, or piping brackets need connection to the structural frame
– Partial bracing or lateral supports are required at intermediate positions
– Adjustable support interfaces are desired that can be repositioned
– Load sharing from non-axial components must be integrated
