Really? Lightsource gives a "safe vertical working load" of 1100lbs for their couplers. It's unclear what specific couplers the op picture is, but at least some are rated.

@gafftapegreenia and @egilson1 Could / would either of you care to comment on Kee Klamps, and / or their Canadian clones, specifically one of their cross-over variety supporting a loaded vertical pipe, a boom for example, from a horizontal pipe??What would you use, then?
I hate Kee Klamps! There I made a comment.@gafftapegreenia and @egilson1 Could / would either of you care to comment on Kee Klamps, and / or their Canadian clones, specifically one of their cross-over variety supporting a loaded vertical pipe, a boom for example, from a horizontal pipe??
Toodleoo!

@gafftapegreenia Tail down; yes, no and sort of. I'll elaborate:So are you talking about doing a tail down from an electric batten?
Something about relying on one set screw makes me nervous, at least speedrail has two set screws. Its probably *fine* but I don't think its an engineered or rated use of the product. No matter what product is used I'd want a safety cable run through the entire pipe.
Perhaps a rotalock is the answer? I asked Bill Sapsis specifically about using Rotalocks for tail downs and he said it was acceptable, just remember that the bolt in a rotalock should always be on the top end.
