Figure 138R Malleable Iron Zinc Plated Finish Extension Split Pipe Clamp
The Figure 138R Malleable Iron Zinc Plated Finish Extension Split Pipe Clamp is a durable pipe support designed for securing non-insulated stationary piping systems. Manufactured from strong malleable iron and protected with a zinc-plated finish, this extension split pipe clamp combines dependable mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and convenient installation for commercial, industrial, mechanical, refrigeration, and compressor piping applications.
Available in sizes from 3/8" through 3", the Figure 138R provides secure pipe support and has a maximum service temperature of 450°F.
Zinc Plated Malleable Iron Construction
The Figure 138R Extension Split Pipe Clamp features rugged malleable iron construction with a zinc-plated surface finish. Zinc plating provides additional protection against rust and corrosion compared with an uncoated plain finish, making the clamp suitable for many indoor mechanical and industrial environments where added surface protection is desirable.
The clamp's engineered interior provides a firm grip on the pipe, helping maintain proper positioning of stationary piping.
Hinged Design for Fast Installation
A major advantage of the Figure 138R is its hinged design with a single closure screw. This configuration allows the clamp to be opened, positioned around the pipe, and quickly secured, helping simplify installation.
The inside of the ring is tapered to help prevent the entrapment of condensed moisture, an important feature for piping applications where condensation may occur.
Refrigeration and Compressor Pipe Support
When installed with a suitable nipple, the Figure 138R split pipe clamp is particularly adaptable for refrigeration and compressor piping subject to vibration.
The Figure 138R complies with Federal Specification A-A-1192A Type 12, WW-H-171-E Type 25, ANSI/MSS SP-69, and MSS SP-58 Type 12.
Combining malleable iron strength, zinc-plated corrosion protection, rapid installation, and secure pipe gripping, the Figure 138R Zinc Plated Extension Split Pipe Clamp provides reliable support for non-insulated stationary piping systems.
