Smith-Blair’s 244 Full Circle Redi-Clamp provides a fast and economical means of repairing pin holes, punctures or splits in pipe. Innovative design, extensive testing and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques are used to produce the 244 Redi-Clamp.
When applied to crimped PE pipe, the 244 serves as a support to the weakened area and marks the location for future reference (not for repair).
The full circumferential gasket with two bonded and recessed armor plates allows the 244 to perform similar to a Full Circle clamp, sealing 360-degrees around the pipe.
The band is stainless steel, selected to meet the exacting requirements of corrosion resistance, flexibility and strength.
The lugs are precision cast ductile iron with a contoured surface to equalize clamping pressures around the pipe. The lug design includes a drop-in bolt feature that eliminates loose parts, saves time and aids installation under adverse conditions.
Smith-Blair’s 244 Full Circle Redi-Clamp may be used for most water and gas applications with the exception of gas plastic pipe repair. It is suitable for restoring shape and marking crimped polyethylene gas service lines.
The 244 style repair clamp is not suitable for use on full breaks because it does not restrain the pipe.
The 244 style repair clamp will hold the 125 PSI requirement as long as it is installed on steel pipe, repairing pinhole leaks and splits that do not propogate. Pinholes and splits should be no closer than 1” from the end of the gasket.
Suitable anchorage must be provided when excessive pipe movement could cause the pipe to move out of the clamp.
