Single hole steel clamp with rubber 3/4"

Product detailed description

This single-hole steel clamp is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing and heating systems to secure pipes in place. It is suitable for installations where a reliable mechanical fastening is required without the need for complex mounting hardware. The clamp is typically used in conjunction with pipe supports, wall brackets, and other mounting accessories to ensure the system remains stable and vibration-free. It is particularly useful in systems where the pipe is routed through walls, ceilings, or along structural elements. The clamp is designed for use with copper, plastic, or steel pipes in both new and retrofit installations.

Installers and technicians working on heating, sanitary, or irrigation systems will find this clamp suitable for securing pipes in various configurations. It is commonly used in underfloor heating systems, domestic hot and cold water lines, and in HVAC ductwork where pipe support is required. The clamp is also suitable for use in industrial applications where pipe routing requires secure fastening at regular intervals.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation of the clamp involves positioning it around the pipe and securing it to a mounting point such as a wall bracket or support beam. The single hole design allows for the use of a screw or bolt to fasten the clamp in place. The installer should ensure that the pipe is clean and free of debris before fitting the clamp to avoid misalignment or damage. The arm length of 98 mm allows for flexibility in positioning the clamp relative to the mounting surface.

Common installation mistakes include using the wrong size clamp for the pipe diameter, which can lead to poor support or pipe damage. It is also important to ensure that the clamp is tightened evenly to avoid uneven stress on the pipe. The galvanized steel construction is suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor environments, provided that the installation is protected from direct exposure to corrosive elements.

Compatibility and accessories

This clamp is compatible with a wide range of pipe materials including copper, steel, and plastic. It is typically used with standard wall brackets, pipe supports, and mounting rails. When installing, it may be necessary to order additional mounting hardware such as screws or bolts depending on the support system being used. The clamp is not designed for use with flexible hoses or expansion joints, as these require different types of support.

Technical background for designers

The clamp operates on a simple mechanical principle: the steel body is wrapped around the pipe and secured with a fastener. The rubber sealing ensures that the clamp does not damage the pipe surface and provides a snug fit. The galvanized steel is chosen for its strength and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for long-term use in a variety of environments. The clamp integrates into the system by providing a fixed point of support, which helps to reduce vibration and prevent sagging or misalignment of the pipe.

The service life of the clamp is influenced by the quality of the installation, the environmental conditions, and the type of pipe being supported. Proper installation and regular inspection can help to ensure that the clamp continues to function effectively over time. The 98 mm arm length allows for flexibility in positioning the clamp relative to the mounting point, which is important for maintaining the structural integrity of the system.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the clamp is recommended to ensure that it remains securely fastened and that the pipe is not vibrating or sagging. The rubber sealing should be checked for signs of wear or damage, as this can affect the performance of the clamp. If the clamp becomes loose or damaged, it should be replaced to prevent potential issues with the pipe support. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but it is advisable to inspect the clamp during routine system maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Can the URG20 clamp be used with copper pipes?
Yes, the clamp is suitable for copper pipes with an outer diameter of 25–30 mm. The rubber sealing prevents damage to the pipe surface during installation.

What is the maximum pipe diameter that the URG20 can accommodate?
The clamp is designed for pipes with an outer diameter of up to 30 mm. It should not be used with larger pipes as this can affect the stability of the support.

Is the URG20 suitable for outdoor use?
The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance, making the clamp suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor environments, provided that it is protected from direct exposure to corrosive elements.

Can the URG20 be used with plastic pipes?
Yes, the clamp is compatible with plastic pipes as long as the outer diameter is within the specified range of 25–30 mm. The rubber sealing ensures a secure fit without damaging the pipe surface.
