- Steel. Made of stainless material.
- Steel. (Galvanized).
- Cast iron.
Depending on the type of fastener, coupling devices for metal and other highways are:
- One-sided.
- Double sided.
- Standard.
- Two-part.
- Three-part (for large-volume metal pipelines).
In addition to these models, manufacturers provide a set of composite parts for metal systems with large diameters. And the number of component parts for such repair devices depends on the volume dimensions.

Products for metal and other pipes differ in several features of working designs, which means that they are easy to select for any network.
Main technical characteristics of repair devices
Crimping repair clamps for pipes consist of the following parts:
- Bandage. This is a crimp element (stainless steel or galvanized), which has a thickness of one or two millimeters. Carbon steel (one and a half to three millimeters thick) is also used to manufacture this structural element. And often cast iron parts are used for this task.
- Cuff. It serves as a sealant on crimping devices. It is made from cellular rubber 6429 - from 8 to 13 SHAFT.
- Fastening elements of crimping mechanisms are made of stainless steel or galvanized.
Acceptable standards for the operating pressure that crimping devices can tolerate are from 6 to 10 atm. The working medium for them is water, air, or any inert gas.
The temperature standard for crimping devices is from -20 to +600C. And their diameters range from 1.5 to 120 cm.
Types of steel clamps
Installation of different types of pipelines requires fastening elements of different designs. Specialists use the following types of steel clamps:
- Spiral clamps - connect reinforced parts of pipelines; there are simple models, power ones, with a bridge;
- Power models of clamps for connecting elements of systems operated under high pressure;
- Reinforced fastening options are used for thick-walled or reinforced hoses with a high-pressure working environment;
- Wire clamps are suitable for hoses and corrugated pipes that experience strong vibration;
- Worm-worm clamps are also used in areas with high vibration, most often in water supply and heating systems;
- Pipe clamps are used in cases where it is necessary to rigidly secure a section of pipe in an open manner. Rigid fixation helps reduce stress in the pipeline. Pipe clamp fasteners look like two half rings or brackets with a tightening mechanism;
- Spring clamps are used for pipes with hot working fluids;
- Repair copies with sealing sealing inserts are used by plumbers in carrying out restoration work. With their help, damage to systems is effectively eliminated: cracks in pipes, fistulas, defects in welding seams. One of the simplest samples for repair purposes is a metal ring with bends at both ends. A rubber gasket is placed under the ring, a bolt is inserted into the bends, and the nut is tightened tightly. The cellular rubber from which the gasket is made hermetically seals off leaks in the water supply system at maximum compression.
Manufacturers offer various types of clamp fastenings. They are usually classified according to materials of manufacture, shape, purpose, installation methods, the presence of additional elements, as well as other design features.
What are steel clamps made of?
Stainless steel is used to produce the simplest two-piece models. The brackets for fixing the hoses are made of galvanized metal. Pipe clamps are made from stronger materials that are reinforced with nickel fibers.
Fastening devices can be in the form of a split ring, a semi-oval shaped bracket, or a strip. There are double versions; they are used to fix pipes located at a very close distance from each other. According to their purpose, clamps can be fastening or repair.
Fastening with clamps can be movable or rigid. Movable fastening is used in the installation of hot water supply systems, when exposure to the working environment can lead to changes in the size and shape of the pipes. Movably fixed pipes can move and return to their original position. Rigid fastening does not allow the fastened element to move from its place and ensures resistance to maximum loads.
Some clamp models have rubber gaskets. They dampen vibration, reduce noise levels, and increase the tightness of connections. These specimens have a higher cost, which is compensated by the strength and reliability of the connections.
Repair coupling for 300
Repair pipe clamp 300 is used for repairs on large diameter pipelines. This device copes excellently with problems such as:
- Formation of cracks running longitudinally (with a possible deviation of 5 degrees).
- The appearance of a dimensional fistula on a steel and cast iron main.
Using repair tools for 300, you can connect steel and cast iron lines with polyethylene ones. The 300 part allows you to eliminate the leak without cutting off the entire system.
These couplings use gaskets made of certified food grade rubber. And the use of random materials on devices is completely excluded. Therefore, such products are characterized by a high level of environmental friendliness.
The 300 device is a reliable and high-quality device because it is made from high-quality raw materials. To all these advantages should be added its affordable cost.
Clamp for repairing steel lines
Repair clamps for steel pipes are made of steel, and most often these devices are installed on the water supply network. This part for steel pipes is folded:
- Several galvanized or steel coupling halves.
- Gaskets.
- Bolts, nuts and washers made of steel or galvanized materials.
The nominal volume of such a device for steel pipelines is from 1.5 to 60 cm. These devices are made in the form of a tape, the edge parts of which are fastened with galvanized tubes.
The cuff on these devices is made of cellular material, which creates a hermetically sealed passage of the mechanism to the emergency location on steel pipelines. The thickness of the metal on them is 1 mm.
They are not subject to corrosive formations, and their use is economical and simple.
Their features
A repair clamp for cast iron, metal, polyethylene pipes has a large number of advantages. It can be used for fragile cast iron and any other system, and everywhere such devices turn out to be multifunctional.
Installing these mechanisms is simple, and anyone can carry out such work with their own hands. During operation, these fasteners allow you to connect cast iron and any other pipe.
When installed on a metal system, they make it possible to extend the life of the line.
Such a device for a cast iron system can be installed by anyone without special skills. These mechanisms for cast iron and any other network can withstand high temperatures.
But in order for these technical characteristics to meet all requirements, you need to buy products only from a trusted manufacturer.
Application and installation sequence
It has already been noted that installation in this case becomes quick and uncomplicated. A brief description of such work looks like this:
- The mechanism must be wound around the circumference of the pipe and secured to the part opposite from the accident.
- Then the nuts are attached; they must fit tightly to the pipeline.
The quality of installation in the emergency zone directly depends on the material of the coupling and its strength. An important detail during operation is the peculiarity of the interface between the fastening device and the system.
There is no need to change the mounted device; it can last the same period as the pipe product itself. Therefore, it is economically beneficial to buy several clamps for repairs, rather than spending money on replacing a pipeline or a separate piece of it.
When selecting the right device for repair, it is necessary to take into account the degree of damage. At the same time, metal, plastic and other devices are installed that most effectively help cope with the resulting breakdown.
Each repair mechanism is designed in the form of a semi-closed cuff and a screw tie. All components of this design are tightened using bolts. Its diameter must exactly correspond to the dimensions of the highway; only this condition becomes the key to reliable sealing.

The described fastening method is versatile and simple. Although difficulties often arise during installation that will require certain skills. For example:
- Stable mounting option. The main points of support with a fixation zone are considered to be those places where a pipe product is secured with a clamp without the likelihood of its subsequent movements. This fastener is made near the socket point on the body. This system makes it possible to use devices of various shapes and creates a durable structure.
- Floating fastening method. Metal or steel coupling mechanisms are connecting parts, but such a coupler requires a lot of effort. Another option for this method is plastic types. They need to be selected for a larger diameter; only in this case can an effective level of fastening be ensured.
Metal and plastic clamps
The pipeline installation process involves a variety of shapes and sequence of coupling attachments. And only in this way is the stability of the reproducible structure created. And additional devices are used in the area of branching and turning of the highway.
It is advisable to use rigid and immovable fasteners for a metal or plastic coupling in a heated room. In other options, plumbers use a movable fastening method using elastic inserts.
If the system is under the influence of high temperature, the pipe needs to be fitted with coupling devices of various shapes with a movable design and an elastic gasket.
The use of various options: metal, plastic, steel, aimed at performing plumbing measures associated with eliminating defects in systems. An option for fastening them is to fix them to the wall with sharp metal studs.
For example, fastening a polypropylene pipeline is carried out at a distance of 2 m, and a plastic pipeline is allowed to be fastened at less frequent intervals.
Features of clamps for CV joint boot
The boot is necessary to protect the automotive CV joint (constant velocity joint) from external influences and preserve the lubricant. Metal clamps are usually used for fastening, which are usually supplied with the boot.
The tie is a solid or perforated tape with a locking device. To ensure reliable fastening and create complete tightness, it is recommended to tighten the clamp with a special device and not use conventional tools.
