The Stepped SealClamp exhaust clamp is a full 360-degree, preformed stainless steel (aluminized option also available) clamp designed for overlapping tube connections including muffler inlets, outlets, slotted joints and flex tubing. The unique stepped reaction block conforms to tubes in overlapping connections to eliminate flex pinch and minimize leaks. The Stepped SealClamp exhaust clamp’s unique shape features an inside sealing surface that matches the stepped shape of an overlapped joint, providing a critical seal for minimizing exhaust leaks. Straight bar designs cause the clamp to lift on the large diameter creating the opportunity for leaks. The grooved stepped reaction block also acts as an installation aide as the groove closes during bolt tightening ensuring proper torque.
“To achieve an effective seal, exhaust clamps need to be flexible enough to conform to the shape of the pipe, yet durable enough to withstand the corrosive, high temperature conditions,” said Clark Lewis, director of product management for exhaust and emissions, Donaldson Company. “The Stepped SealClamp exhaust clamp delivers these capabilities and incorporates other design features that make installation faster and easier than competitive clamps.”
Installation is simplified with the one-piece nut bar that allows for one wrench installing. No disconnecting or welding and no extra sealing pads, seals or gaskets are required for installation. In addition, all hardware and fasteners have been treated with a corrosion resistant coating.
