Installation of 2 Bolt Clamps

ClampNotes

  1. Periodic bolt re-tightening is necessary due to “cold-flow” present in all rubber hoses.
  2. Bolt clamps (including nuts and bolts) are for a single use only! Once removed, discard.

Process

  1. Insert shank into hose.
  2. Place the stem in a vise.
  3. Position the clamp gripping fingers behind the stem collar.
  4. Tighten the bolts by hand until there is equal thread engagement. When hose O.D. (Outside Diameter) is at or near clamp maximum range.
  5. Using a torque wrench, tighten bolts to the recommended torque value.
  • Front bolt, one full turn.
  • Opposite side bolt, one full turn.
  • Repeat ‘the above until all bolts are tightened. Clamp bolts are designed to bend during tightening.
