If you move the beam clamps further apart you will loose clamping force against the I beam, closer is better.
Sounds like you are worried about loading will the beam clamp take the extra load?

The "pipe"
is the antenna (not the short piece) along with the 2 dipoles. I believe it's aluminum but can't say for sure. Probably 1.9OD.
Moving the clamps apart just a wee bit to allow them not ride on the I beam, but rather mate up square against the beam edges.
