Installation Notes
- Clean the pipe where the clamp will sit, removing scale, dirt and debris that could spoil the gasket seal.
- Mark the pipe both ways from the center of the damage, and lubricate pipe and gasket with a soap-and-water solution.
- Install with the leak centered under the gasket, using the reference marks to align the clamp axially, and engage the bolt head in the open lug.
- Tighten the nut to stop the leak, using a calibrated torque wrench and the torque in the instructions.
- Anchor the pipe: the clamp seals around it, and Smith-Blair requires proper anchoring to restrain pipe movement and prevent pull-out.
