A new range of pipe clamps introduced by Ellis Patents is the result of nearly three years development.
A new range of pipe clamps introduced by Ellis Patents is the result of nearly three years development.
Called Apache, these products have been designed for rapid installation and are suitable for use with all metal and plastic pipework as used in the plumbing, heating and ventilation or air-conditioning markets as well as process pipework.
Two ranges of product are available, one being pipe hanger clamps used with threaded support rods.
The second version is designed for a simple positive twist-fit into standard (41 x 41 or 41 x 21) framing channel.
Apache pipe clamps are suitable for both supported and suspended loads.
When used with framing channel installed vertically, a channel nut is used to prevent slippage of the clamp.
Sixteen pipe clamps are available in each range, covering standard and nonstandard pipe sizes from 15mm to 171mm outside diameter and all imperial sizes up to 6in bore.
Manufactured from high-strength black polyamide material, this one-piece clamp design features fully captive components and requires no tools for fitting.
The polyamide material is particularly suited for use with plastic pipework as it eliminates chafing or the need for using liners which can lead to stress fractures caused by plasticiser migration.
A good chemical resistance is also offered, together with operation at elevated temperatures.
Safe working loads depend on pipework diameters and range from 17 to 130kgf, with a minimum 10:1 load safety factor.
