Key Features
- Split clamp design: two half-shells clamp around the pipe without needing to dismantle the pipeline.
- Hot tap repair: can be installed directly on pressurized pipes, minimizing service disruption.
- Reliable seal: built-in high-elasticity EPDM rubber gasket conforms tightly to pipe exterior under bolt pressure.
- Wide applicability: suitable for UPVC, PE, cast iron, cement, and other pipe materials.
Manufacturing Process
Housing injection molded from UPVC or formed from metal (ductile iron/stainless steel). Rubber gaskets manufactured via compression molding. Fasteners are galvanized carbon steel or stainless steel.
Critical Process Parameters
- Matching accuracy between housing inner diameter and pipe outer diameter.
- Hardness, compression set resistance, and aging resistance of rubber gaskets.
- Correlation between bolt tightening torque and seal compression.
Raw Material Characteristics
- Material Composition: Housing: UPVC, ductile iron (with anti-corrosion coating), or stainless steel. Gasket: EPDM. Fasteners: galvanized carbon steel or stainless steel.
- Material Properties: High housing strength and pressure resistance. Gasket resists aging and water, with good elasticity. Fasteners are rust-proofed for use in damp environments.
Typical Applications
- Emergency repair of sudden bursts and cracks in water supply pipelines.
- Permanent repair of localized damage such as pinholes and corrosion perforations.
- Pressurized leak sealing where water shutdown or pipe replacement is not feasible.
- As a standby maintenance device for long-term pipeline system operation.
Application Scenarios
- Emergency repair of burst municipal water mains.
- Leak repair in building water supply pipes.
- Online leak sealing in industrial pipelines.
