The Swagelok SS-TBC12 Keeps 3/4 Inch Tubing Exactly Where You Put It
Condition
New. The photographed sample is representative of our stock and is shown with its pieces separated so each one is visible: two bright formed metal plates, one split black polymer cushion, and one hex nut with a white nylon locking insert. Both plates carry the same struck markings - 3/4 TUBE OD, the Swagelok script logo, and the code 1 016. One plate has a threaded stud at the top, the other a matching clearance hole. The back faces show fine scratching and mottled darker areas, the surface record that stamped and formed sheet metal carries out of the die. One plate also carries a code written in black marker on its stamped face, below the size, logo, and 1 016 markings - warehouse handwriting rather than a factory mark. Sold each.

Product Overview
The SS-TBC12 is Swagelok's tube support bracket for 3/4 inch outside diameter tubing, and it works the way a good clamp should: the split polymer cushion wraps the tube, the two formed plates close around the cushion, the threaded stud on one plate passes through the clearance hole in the other, and the nylon-insert locknut draws the pair together and stays put under vibration. The cushion is what actually touches the tube, so the run is held and damped without metal biting into metal - the reason a support like this belongs on a line that has to stay quiet and stay round. Size is not something you have to take on faith here: both plates are struck 3/4 TUBE OD alongside the Swagelok script and the code 1 016, so the part identifies itself long after the paperwork is gone. The SS prefix in the part number is Swagelok's designation for stainless steel. The exact alloy grade, the cushion's polymer, the clamp's load and temperature ratings, and the mounting pattern or rail this bracket was designed to sit on are not confirmed here - verify against the Swagelok datasheet before use. Sold each.

Applications
- A process technician running new 3/4 inch line across a skid who needs the span anchored so it stops drumming between fittings
- An instrumentation builder finishing a panel where the tubing has to be supported cleanly and match the Swagelok hardware already on the board
- A maintenance crew replacing a cracked or missing cushion clamp on an existing 3/4 inch run without redesigning the support
- A lab or pilot-plant fabricator who needs two or three supports for one bench rig, not a case of fifty
Frequently Asked Questions
What tube size does this bracket hold?
3/4 inch outside diameter. The size is struck into both plates as 3/4 TUBE OD, so you can confirm it on the part itself rather than trusting a label.
What pieces make up one bracket?
The photographed sample is shown as four pieces: two formed metal plates, the split black polymer cushion, and one hex nut with a nylon locking insert. It is photographed with those pieces apart so each is visible.
What is the 1 016 stamped under the Swagelok logo?
It is a code struck into both plates by the maker, sitting below the script logo and the size. We have not confirmed what it designates. Use the catalog part number SS-TBC12 as your ordering reference.
What is not confirmed on this listing?
The exact stainless grade, the cushion's polymer, the clamp's load and temperature ratings, and the mounting pattern or rail it was designed for. Verify against the Swagelok datasheet before use.
I only need a couple of supports. Do I have to buy a box?
No. These are sold each, so you buy the count your run actually needs - one to steady a single sagging span, three or four to space out a new 3/4 inch line - instead of a sealed case of fifty that sits in the shop for the next decade. Shipping is a flat $8, free once your order passes $28, and orders leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Nobody photographs the clamps when the skid is finished, but the tubing stays quiet because they are there. Set this one in place and your 3/4 inch run stops arguing with the frame.
