Sioux Chief 555-2BKT 1/2" Tube Talon Pipe Clamp with Ring-Shank Nail, Bucket of 2200

The Sioux Chief 555-2BKT is a bulk bucket of 2200 Tube Talon pipe clamps sized for 1/2" tubing, built for rough-in plumbers who need a fast, permanent way to secure piping to framing members. Each Tube Talon combines the clamp and the fastener in one piece, with an integrated ring-shank nail that drives directly into wood studs and joists for a one-step installation. The 1/2" size is compatible with copper, PEX and CPVC tubing, making this a go-to fastener for mixed-material rough-in work. For IPS piping such as PVC and iron pipe, Sioux Chief recommends stepping up to the next larger Tube Talon size rather than using this 1/2" CTS-sized clamp.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 1/2" tube talon, sized for copper, PEX and CPVC tubing runs.
  • Integrated Ring-Shank Nail: the ring-shank design ensures a permanent hold once driven into framing, reducing the chance of the clamp working loose over time.
  • Overdrive Protection: the tube is not damaged even if the nail is overdriven during installation, which helps protect the pipe wall from crimping or crushing on the job.
  • Alternating Installation Pattern: Sioux Chief recommends installing Tube Talons in alternating directions along a pipe run to better secure the piping and resist movement.
  • IPS Compatibility Note: for IPS piping (PVC and iron pipe), use the next larger Tube Talon size rather than this 1/2" unit.
  • Bulk Bucket Packaging: supplied as a bucket of 2200 pieces, suited to high-volume rough-in jobs and production plumbing crews that need to stock a single fastener size in quantity.

Technical Specifications

  • Country of Origin: United States
  • Packaging: 1 EA (bucket of 2200 pieces)
  • Trade Size: 1/2" (CTS)
  • Compatible Pipe Materials: Copper, PEX, CPVC

Typical Applications

  • Residential and Commercial Rough-In Plumbing
  • Securing Copper, PEX, and CPVC Tubing to Wood Framing
  • New Construction Pipe Support and Fastening
  • High-Volume Production Plumbing Installations
  • Alternating-Direction Pipe Runs Requiring Repeated Fastening Points

Why Sioux Chief?

Sioux Chief's Tube Talon design combines the fastener and clamp into a single ring-shank nail-equipped piece, simplifying installation while delivering a permanent hold on copper, PEX and CPVC tubing. The overdrive-tolerant design helps protect the pipe during installation, and the bulk bucket packaging gives rough-in crews a dependable, job-ready supply of fasteners for repetitive pipe-securing work across residential and commercial projects.

Sioux Chief 555-2BKT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sioux Chief 555-2BKT Tube Talon work on 1/2 inch PEX and copper, or is it only for one material?
The 1/2 inch Tube Talon handles copper, PEX and CPVC tubing in the same clamp, which is why rough-in crews stock it on mixed-material jobs. It is sized to 1/2 inch CTS (copper tube size), so it matches the outside diameter those three materials share at that trade size.
2) Can I use a 1/2 inch Tube Talon clamp on 1/2 inch PVC or iron pipe?
No. PVC and iron pipe are IPS sized, which runs larger in outside diameter than CTS tubing at the same nominal size. Sioux Chief says to step up to the next larger Tube Talon size for IPS piping rather than forcing this 1/2 inch CTS clamp onto it.
3) Do I need a separate nail or screw to install a Tube Talon pipe clamp?
No separate fastener. Each Tube Talon is one piece with the ring-shank nail already integrated, so you drive it straight into a wood stud or joist in a single step. The connection type is nail-in, meaning it is for wood framing, not for concrete, block or steel studs.
4) Will driving the nail too far crush my PEX or copper tubing?
The Tube Talon is built to tolerate an overdriven nail without damaging the tube, so a hard hammer strike or an overdriven nail gun shot will not crimp or crush the pipe wall. That is the main reason production crews use it over a strap-and-nail combination where a heavy blow can deform soft copper or PEX.
5) How should Tube Talons be spaced or oriented along a pipe run?
Sioux Chief recommends installing them in alternating directions along the run. Flipping orientation from one clamp to the next holds the piping more positively and resists movement along the axis of the pipe, which matters on long PEX runs where thermal expansion wants to shift the line.
6) How many clamps come in the Sioux Chief 555-2BKT bucket?
It ships as a single bucket containing 2200 of the 1/2 inch Tube Talon clamps. That is bulk packaging aimed at production plumbing and multi-family rough-in, where one trade size gets used thousands of times. If you only need a handful of clamps for a service repair, a bucket of 2200 is the wrong buy.
7) Is the Sioux Chief 555-2BKT made in the USA?
Yes, the 555-2BKT Tube Talon clamps are listed with the United States as country of origin, which is the detail institutional and government buyers working under domestic sourcing requirements usually need confirmed before they issue the PO.
8) What is the Sioux Chief part number for the 1/2 inch Tube Talon bucket?
Order as Sioux Chief 555-2BKT. The 555 series is the Tube Talon pipe clamp, the 2 designates the 1/2 inch CTS trade size, and the BKT suffix is the bulk bucket pack rather than a smaller carton.
