Pushbutton (Snapbutton) 3/8 in.

3/8 in. Pushbutton Snap Clip – Fits 1″ to 1.75″ Inner Diameter Tubing

This 3/8 inch Pushbutton Snap Clip—also known as a spring button, snap clip, spring clip, or push pin—is a versatile and reliable locking mechanism widely used in modular and telescoping tube applications. Crafted from durable, high-tension spring steel, this component provides a secure yet easily releasable snap-fit for poles, making it ideal for commercial tent frames, Bally rails, pole extensions, and other specialized fittings that require frequent assembly and disassembly.

The snap button features a domed or mushroom-style head that pops into a corresponding hole on the outer tube or sleeve, locking two telescoping tubes in place. When the button is depressed, it retracts easily, allowing the inner tube to slide freely again. This makes it particularly useful in structural or field-assembled products where portability and tool-free setup are essential.

Key Applications:

• Bally Rail Frames – Secure pole ends or crossbars within a rigid frame system.

• Pole Extensions – Allow seamless height adjustment or modular extensions on tent legs and supports.

• Specialty Fittings – Ideal for folding, collapsible, or modular frame assemblies used in tenting, signage, and event structures.

Compatibility:

• Designed for use with tubing having an inner diameter between 1″ and 1.75″

• Fits most commercial-grade aluminum and galvanized steel tent poles

Features:

• High-strength spring steel for long-lasting tension and resilience

• Quick snap-in and release without tools

• Works in round or square tubing

• Compact, corrosion-resistant design

This component is a must-have for any tent builder, event rental operator, or industrial user looking for a fast and efficient way to join pipe or tubing. It is especially useful for setups requiring quick disassembly, like rental tents, scaffolding, or staging.
