ROBAR SINGLE SECTION 5616 SERIES ALL STAINLESS REPAIR CLAMPS

• Clean the pipe over the entire circumference where the clamp is to be installed. Be sure that there is no foreign debris (pebbles or dirt) on the clamp gasket or pipe. Lubricate the entire clamp gasket with an NSF certified potable lube.

• A minimum of 4” of clamp is recommended beyond each side of the repair area. (i.e. If a 4” longitudinalcrack is being repaired, a 12” long clamp is recommended). Also, a small hole can be drilled at each end of the crack to prevent it from spreading.

• Slide the bolt section of the clamp underneath the pipe. Gently grasp both lifter bars and pull up and outwards until they snap into place over the receiver lugs. The gaskets should remain flat along the pipe and free to move into position.

• Tighten the nuts, using a torque wrench, evenly and incrementally. Start in the center, and move outward, criss crossing between sections. Be sure to maintain an equal distance between the clamp sections. Torque each nut to 80 ft. lbs.

• The pressure rating and length of service of the repair clamp is influenced by the type of repair, extent of damage, condition of pipe, surrounding environmental conditions and installation workmanship
