Overview
Dresser Style 160 bell joint clamps permanently stop or prevent leaks through the joint material of cast iron bell and spigot joints. The spigot ring wraps around and hinges, with serrated ends that bolt together, so one clamp fits the bells of virtually every make of pipe in a nominal size. A large wedge gasket seals as the spigot ring is drawn toward the bell ring.
Application: Leaking bell and spigot joints on cast iron water mains.
- No clips: hinged, wrap-around spigot ring
- Fits bell OD variation within a nominal size
- Installs with the line in service
