4 Introduction Fastlamp is a range of fittings manufactured from Malleable Iron to S EN 1562:1997 & Ductile Iron (where noted in the fittings description) to S EN 1563:1997. 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 a hexagon key to tighten the special setscrews that embed into the tube. Fastlamp fittings will support an axial load of up to 900 kgs when tightened to a torque of 39Nm. FINISHES VIE Fastlamp castings are Hot dip Galvanised to S EN ISO 1461:1999 as standard. Fastlamp fittings can also be supplied in a powder coated finish to R standard colours subject to quantity and availability from the coaters mm 33.7mm FSTMP SEETION Fastlamp fittings are suitable for use with steel tubes to S EN and S 1387 with a minimum wall thickness of 3.2mm, however please note that internal fitting types: 01, 06, 65, DD-02 & DD-06 are only designed for use with 3.2mm thick tube. Product codes are constructed as follows: = Fastlamp No. = Fastlamp type G = Galvanised P = Plastic S = Stainless Steel No. = Tube size Example: 00G20 is a Fastlamp, type 00, galvanised, and suitable for 26.9mm diameter tube.

7 pplication Guidelines Handrail Handrail is the most common form of structure that is built with Fastlamp fittings and requires careful consideration to meet required design loadings. Design loads are usually specified, however if unsure S 5395 and S 4592 are good reference documents. The loading capacity of any handrail structure is determined principally by the diameter, thickness and frequency of its Uprights. This table contains our recommendations to safely meet the stated design loads based on the maximum permissible bending moment of the Upright tube.

8 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. 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 designing structures using Fastlamp please contact our technical department. 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 HS tube.
