A pipe clamp is conventionally made up of 2 basic structures – an adjustable jaw and a pipe thread, this is ideal because the gap between the jaws can be easily adjusted to fit the job. These clamps are useful when performing residential or commercial improvement projects or carrying out repair work. Pipe clips are available in a wide variety of sizes and shapes, and they perform various functions.
Below are three of the common uses of pipe clamps.
- Edge gluing: This is one of the most popular uses of a pipe clamp. With the help of clamps, numerous boards can be connected to each other so that a wider surface can be produced.
- Holding pipes in a place: When you are looking to support pipes that have to be suspended overhead, a pipe clamp is the best solution. These clamps can easily be fixed to the ceiling or wall and can be used to secure the pipes firmly.
- Repairing a leak: Pipe clamps can be used to effectively and quickly fix leaks in pipes. The clamps can be fixed to the leaking area in order to stop the leak. However, this will only work if the leaks are small.
A pipe clip or clamp is very useful and has multiple uses. To understand the type of clamp you need for a specific project, it is always best to talk to an expert.
