 CLAMPS

Bar Hydraulic pipe clamps or hydraulic pipe hanger systems are designed to assure a simple, reliable shock dampening
support for hydraulic tubes, hydraulic pipes, hydraulic hoses and conduit in hydraulic piping systems. Pipe clamps

SYSTEM

or pipe hangers are used in industrial hydraulic systems, mobile hydraulic systems, process piping and electrical
construction. Hydraulic pipe clamps absorb shock, dampen vibration and reduce noise in hydraulic piping systems. We
are pleased to offer the most comprehensive line of hydraulic pipe clamps from ¼” tube up to 30” pipe. Our hydraulic
PIPE & TUBE

pipe clamps are also offered in metric tube sizes. We can supply our hydraulic pipe clamps in a wide range of materials:
Polypropylene (PP) is used for standard pipe clamps and Santoprene (SA) or Aluminum (AL) for special applications.
Weld plates, top plates and bolts can be supplied in both carbon steel and stainless steel.

 STANDARD SERIES PIPE & TUBE CLAMPS

Engineering, plant and maintenance personnel appreciate the simplicity, vibration dampening, shock and noise absorbing qualities of this system, which
comply with OSHA, nuclear, environmental, ASTM, and Coast Guard standards.

BAR FLARE
SYSTEM
Clamping halves are available in Polypropylene (PP) or Santoprene (SA). Both plastic materials are resistant to salt water and most chemicals and oil and
offer a wide range of thermal properties. Aluminum clamp halves are also available from stock.
Standard Series clamps will accommodate pipes, tubes and hose ranging in size from ¼” OD to 3½” OD. Clamps for tube and metric sizes, other than those
listed, are available upon request. A clamp assembly consists of a weld plate, two (2) identical clamp halves, a cover plate, and two hex head bolts.
Standard weld plates and cover plates are furnished in plain carbon steel or zinc plated finish. Stainless Steel hardware is available from stock (type 304 &

316 stainless).
CLAMPS FOR STACKING require stacking bolts (STB) and safety plates (SAF).
RAIL MOUNTING allows for faster installation and easier relocation of clamps.

 HEAVY SERIES PIPE & TUBE CLAMPS

HEAVY SERIES CLAMPS are available in a single heavy (SH) unit two (2) bolt design, or a double heavy (DH) unit four (4) bolt design.
Clamps are designed to absorb shock and vibration and reduce noise from installations, such as: steel mills, power plants, ship building, off-highway

SYSTEM

equipment, off-shore drilling platforms, and high pressure hydraulic machinery.

Heavy series clamps will accommodate pipes, tubes and hose ranging in size from 1/4” to 8-5/8” O.D. Metric sizes available upon request.
A basic clamp assembly consists of a weld plate, two (2) identical clamp halves, a cover plate and two (2) hex head bolts.
Weld and cover plates are made from low carbon steel material. Stainless steel and plated hardware are available for all groups.
Clamp halves are made of Polypropylene (PP - green or black color), Santoprene (SP - tan color), and Aluminum (AL - silver color).
PIPE & TUBE

Heavy series clamps of the same group may be stacked vertically to desired number by using stacking bolts (STB) and safety plates (SAF).
Plastic blanks for special bore diameters available in groups H3 thru H8.

HEAVY 4 SERIES PIPE & TUBE CLAMPS

Heavy 4 Pipe Supports have no challenger when it comes to taking on the heavyweights: pipe sizes from 8-5/8” to 30” O.D. The clamps feature a unique
SYSTEM

4-segmented plastic design which retains dimensional accuracy, resists stress and impact, absorbs vibration and accomplishes a strong plastic to steel
interface. This segmented plastic design is complemented by substantial steel support hardware.

Heavy 4 Supports can be quickly and effectively secured and are virtually maintenance-free. The 4-segment design offers greater dimensional accuracy
and a stronger plastic to steel interface unobtainable in large, two-piece designs which have a tendency to shrink and distort after molding. Four precision
PIPE & TUBE

molded plastic segments are identical and interchangeable. Four bosses welded onto each cover plate and weld plate mate with cored cylindrical recesses
molded into each plastic segment achieving a composite plastic-to-steel interface. These bosses provide an easy, snap-in assembly. 1-1/4” diameter hex
bolts engage threaded bushings in the weld plate. The threaded bushings are welded into the weld plate from the bottom, assuring consistent and uniform
torque and preventing pull-out.

As in the Standard, twin and heavy series the clamp segments are molded of tough, industrial grade polypropylene or santoprene for higher temperature
CLAMPS

service. The plastics are stress and impact resistant, and absorb energy to help dampen vibration and control noise in compliance with OSHA environmental
requirements. The plastics resist stress cracking and conform to minor pipe irregularities. Order numbers including decimal O.D. are molded into each
segment for easy identification. Weld plates and cover plates are manufactured from low carbon steel material. For corrosive application, stainless steel or
plated hardware is available.

TWIN SERIES CLAMPS will accommodate pipes, tubes and hoses ranging in size from ¼” to 1-5/8” O.D.

SYSTEM
In addition to shock and vibration absorption properties, the Twin Clamp can support multiple tubes or hose and provide a close center distance.
Typical installations: Off-highway equipment, agricultural equipment, material handling, construction, and food processing plants.
Clamps for tube and metric sizes, other than those listed, can be furnished upon request.
A basic clamp assembly consists of a weld plate, two (2) identical clamp halves, an arched cover plate and one (1) hex bolt. Twin weld and cover plates are
furnished in plain carbon steel or zinc plated finish (zinc plated is standard).

PIPE & TUBE

Group T1 is supplied with 1/4-20 hardware. Group T2 - T5 can be supplied with either 5/16-18 or 3/8-16 hardware (5/16-18 hardware is standard)
Clamp units for lines with two different diameters can be provided upon request.
Clamp halves are made of Polypropylene (PP) in green or black and Santoprene (SP) in tan. Please refer to the Technical section for plastic properties.
