Product Description
Galvanized Chain Link Saddle Clamps — Professional-Grade Parallel Pipe Connector (Multiple Sizes)
- Connects Two Pipes, Side-by-Side — Clamp two pieces of round chain link tubing in parallel, vertically or horizontally
- Contractor-Grade Steel — Pressed galvanized steel chosen by professionals for kennel panels, temp fencing, and pipe-frame builds
- Fast, One-Bolt Install — Tighten a single 5/16″ × 1-1/4″ carriage bolt through the clamp to lock parts in place (bolt & nut sold separately)
- Reusable & Versatile — Loosen, reposition, and re-use as layouts change
- Three Sizes — Fits 1-3/8″, 1-5/8″, and 2″ tubing
These galvanized saddle clamps are a fence-contractor-grade way to join two pieces of round pipe in parallel—ideal for expanding kennels by joining panel frames, stringing together temporary fence bays, or adding accessories and bracing to pipe-frame structures. The two-piece design sandwiches the pipes and tightens with a single carriage bolt for a clean, rigid connection.
Why Choose This

- Installer-friendly — One bolt per clamp keeps installs quick and consistent
- Flexible layouts — Perfect for kennels, ballfield backstops, temp panels, and general pipe framing

Installation
Place one clamp half on each side of the two parallel pipes. Insert a 5/16″ × 1-1/4″ carriage bolt through the square hole, add the nut, align the pipes, and tighten until snug. Use two clamps per panel seam on tall or high-load connections. Re-check tightness after initial use.
Buying Guide
- Choose by pipe O.D.: Match the clamp size to the outside diameter of the pipes you’re joining.
- Bolt length: 1-1/4″ works for most standard frames; add length for thicker stacks or accessories.
- Parallel joins only: For side-by-side connections. For a T-connection, use end rail (T) clamps. For rails passing through line posts, use line rail (boulevard) clamps.
- Pro tip: On long seams, space clamps evenly to distribute load and keep frames aligned.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What’s the difference between a saddle clamp and a panel clamp?
- Both join parallel pipes. Saddle clamps are a simple strap style with one bolt; panel clamps are two heavier plates that sandwich the pipes for a broader bearing surface.
- How many do I need per seam?
- Common practice is two per vertical seam on kennel or temp panels; add more for tall or high-load areas.
- Are bolts included?
- No—order 5/16″ × 1-1/4″ carriage bolts & nuts separately.
- Will these rust?
- The galvanized coating provides outdoor corrosion resistance. Touch up any deep scratches to protect the steel.
- Can they be removed and reused?
- Yes—loosen the nut to reposition or re-use as layouts change.
Comparison
Option | Strengths | Considerations | Best For |
---|---|---|---|
Saddle Clamp (this item) | Simple, one-bolt, contractor-grade galvanized | Less bearing area than panel clamps | Kennel & temp panel seams; accessory mounts |
Panel (Kennel) Clamp | Broader bearing surface; very rigid join | Heavier plates; larger bolt | High-load seams; frequent reconfiguration |
End Rail (T) Clamp | Forms a T-connection | Not for parallel joins | Gate braces; mid/bottom rail to posts |
Line Rail (Boulevard) Clamp | Carries rails through line posts | Purpose-built use only | Mid/bottom rails in fence lines |
