Product Description
Galvanized Chain Link Panel Clamps — Kennels, Temp Panels & Pipe Builds (Multiple Sizes)
- Join Panels Fast — Two-piece clamp sandwiches pipes side-by-side for a rigid connection
- Field-Proven Hardware — Common on kennel panels, temporary fence panels, and pipe-frame builds
- Heavy-Duty Steel — Galvanized coating helps resist rust in outdoor environments
- Single-Bolt Tightening — Uses one 3/8″ carriage bolt (length varies by size; not included)
- Clean, Reusable — Disassembles easily to reconfigure panels and layouts
Galvanized panel clamps (often called kennel clamps or panel connectors) make it quick and reliable to join two pieces of round pipe side-by-side. Clamp halves wrap the pipes and draw tight with a single carriage bolt, creating a sturdy, professional connection that’s ideal for kennels, temp fencing, backstops, and other pipe-frame projects.
Why Choose This
- Fewer parts — One clamp + one bolt per connection keeps installs simple
- Consistent alignment — Helps panels meet square and stay put
- Durable — Galvanized steel stands up to weather and daily use
- Versatile — Works anywhere you need two pipes coupled side-by-side

Installation
Place one clamp half on each side of the two pipes where they meet. Insert the specified 3/8″ carriage bolt and nut, then tighten evenly until snug—secure enough to prevent slip without deforming the pipe. Repeat at additional connection points as needed for alignment and rigidity.
Buying Guide
- Match pipe size: Choose the clamp size that matches the actual pipe O.D. you’re joining (see the Spec table).
- Bolt length: Use the carriage bolt length listed for your clamp size; add washers/locknuts per your spec.
- Connection layout: For tall panels or high loads, use multiple clamps spaced along the seam to improve stability.
- Finish: Galvanized clamps are standard for silver systems; for color systems, consider color-coated clamps to blend with framework.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What size bolt do I need?
- Use a single 3/8″ carriage bolt; length depends on clamp size (see Specifications).
- Are bolts included?
- No. Panel clamps are supplied without bolts so you can choose the grade/finish you prefer.
- Will these work on square tubing?
- They’re shaped for round pipe. For square/rectangular frames, use fittings intended for flat faces.
- How many clamps per joint?
- At minimum, one per connection point. Use two or more on tall/heavy panels for better rigidity.
- Where are they commonly used?
- Kennel panels, temporary fence panels, backstops, and general pipe-frame builds.
Comparison
| Option | Strengths | Considerations | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Panel (Kennel) Clamp (this item) | Fast, single-bolt connection; reusable; rigid side-by-side join | Round pipe only; bolt not included | Kennels, temp panels, general pipe frames |
| Saddle Clamp | Simple strap connection | Less bearing area than panel clamps | Light framing & accessory mounts |
| Line Rail (Boulevard) Clamp | Carries rails straight through line posts | Purpose-built for brace rails (not panel seams) | Mid/bottom rails on chain link lines |
| End Rail / Gate Brace Clamp | Terminates rails at ends/corners | Not for side-by-side pipe joins | Terminal & corner posts |
