Kupo Barrel Joiner (KCP-847)

Overview

The Kupo Barrel Joiner (KCP-847) is a heavy-duty professional pipe-to-pipe coupler designed for securely connecting two tubes end-to-end in film, television, theatre, live event, and studio rigging environments. Engineered for strength, reliability, and fast installation, this barrel joiner is ideal for extending truss sections, overhead grids, lighting pipes, and support structures where secure tube alignment is essential.

Constructed from high-tensile 6061-T6 aluminium extrusion, the KCP-847 offers exceptional durability while maintaining a manageable weight for efficient handling on set or during rigging installations. Its robust design supports a high safe working load of up to 300 kg, making it suitable for demanding professional production applications.

Designed to fit standard 48–51 mm diameter tubing, the joiner creates a fast and stable connection between two pipes in a straight-line configuration. The integrated wing nut tightening system allows for quick tool-free installation, while the captive thread bolt design helps prevent the wing nut from loosening or falling during setup and transport.

With its professional-grade construction and dependable load capacity, the KCP-847 is a trusted solution for grip crews, lighting technicians, and staging professionals who require secure tube extension hardware in studio and live production environments.
