ABSTRACT:
A tube clamp assembly is provided having a one-piece clamp or casting with four clamping and aligning lugs projecting from each side of the casting. The four lugs on the first side of the casting are symmetrically arranged at the corner of an imaginary square and have two sets of clamping and aligning surfaces that lie in planes perpendicular to each other. The surfaces are spaced apart a distance equal to the distance between the faces of a first tube so that the casting can embrace the tube sides in either a first position or a second position rotated 90 degrees from the first position. On the second side of the casting, four lugs similar to the lugs on the first side project the opposite direction and also define two sets of clamping and aligning surfaces. The distance between the clamping and aligning surfaces varies on the second side so that when the casting is in the first rotated position on the first tube, a second tube of a preselected size can be accommodated between the surfaces at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the first tube. When the casting is in the second rotated position, another tube of size different from the preselected size can be accommodated perpendicular to the first tube.
