Low-Pressure Pipe Repair Clamps
Repair pinholes and cracks in low-pressure applications without having to disassemble your system. All clamps are 304 stainless steel for very good corrosion resistance. Choose a clamp that’s long enough to cover your damaged area with at least 1” on both sides.
Clamps with partial-coverage gaskets, also known as patch clamps, repair pinholes and small cracks. The gasket on these clamps wraps around as much as 40% of the pipe. Unlike clamps with full-coverage gaskets, you'll need to line up the gasket so it completely covers the damaged area.
Most Buna-N gaskets work with a variety of media, such as air, water, oil, and hydraulic fluid.
EPDM gaskets can be used with steam and other high-temperature applications.
Clamps that meet NSF/ANSI 61 are safe for use with drinking water systems.

Medium-Pressure Pipe Repair Clamps
Use these clamps to repair pinholes and cracks in medium-pressure applications. They slip over your pipe, so there's no need to disassemble your system. Choose a clamp that’s long enough to cover your damaged area with at least 1” on both sides.
Clamps with full-coverage gaskets repair larger areas than partial-coverage gaskets, such as nearly full-circle breaks. These clamps are easier to install than clamps with partial-coverage gaskets because you don’t need to line up the gasket with the damaged area.
EPDM gaskets can be used with steam and other high-temperature applications.
304 stainless steel clamps have very good corrosion resistance; they are adjustable to accommodate slight variance of pipe OD due to aging or corrosion build up. They meet NSF/ANSI 61 safety standards for use with drinking water systems.
