Smith-Blair’s 245 Redi-Clamp provides a fast, economical means of repair for pin holes, punctures or splits in pipe. Innovative design, extensive testing and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques are used to produce the 245 Redi-Clamp.
The 245’s gasket has finely grided surfaces that conform to irregularities on the pipe surface and provide superior sealing on rough or pitted areas (smooth gaskets are available upon request). The band is stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance, flexibility and strength.The clamp’s lugs are precision cast with a contoured surface to equalize clamping pressure around the pipe. The lug design includes a drop-in bolt feature that eliminates loose parts, saves time and aids installation under adverse conditions.
The bolts are electro-galvanized carbon steel with a dichromate seal to resist corrosion. They have a generous shoulder ensuring a positive fit in the open slot to secure against turning during maximum tightening.
The 245 style repair clamp will hold the noted pressure ratings 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.
