541-549 Series
541-549 Series
Mueller® 540 and 550 Series Full-Seal Stainless Steel Clamps provide ecomomical repairs and resist corrosion.
MUELLER "all Stainless Steel" Full-Seal Pipe Repair Clamps provide an economical repair for circumferential breaks or cracks, multiple leaks or holes in pipe. They are available in standard lengths for cast and steel pipe and with add-on etc. Each clamp size can accommodate a wide range of O.D. variations.
Lightweight all stainless steel pipe repair clamps resist corrosive atmospheres and hot soils. Available in single- section Full-Seal® style (Series 540), in two-section Xtra- Range® style (Series 550), and in Servi-Seal® style with welded-in service outlet. Servi-Seal style is available in either single-section (Styles 541-549) or two-section (Styles 551-559).
Features:
- MAXIMUM GAS WORKING PRESSURE – for properly installed clamps at 150F. maximum working temperature: 2"-8" 100 psig (689 kPa), 10"-12" cast iron pipe 60 psig, 10"-12" steel pipe 100 psig (689 kPa).
- 304L STAINLESS STEEL "GAP BRIDGES" – molded into gasket where the band sections join and add support to provide 360° clamping pressure. Lightweight all stainless steel clamps resist corrosive atmo- spheres and hot soils. Available in single-section Full-Seal® style (Series 520), in two-section Xtra-Range® style (Series 530), and in Servi-Seal® style with welded-in service outlet. Servi-Seal style is available in either single-section (Styles 521-529) or two-section (Styles 531- 539).
- TAPERED END GRIDDED GASKET – made of specially compounded nitrile rubber has gridded pattern for positive sealing and tapered ends to make installation quick and easy.
- BANDS – made of type 304L stainless steel, and are machine-welded and fully passivated.
- UNIQUE LOW-PROFILE DESIGN – of the bolting mechanism makes clamp easy to handle and easy to fit around pipe.
- HIGH STRENGTH STAINLESS STEEL BOLTS – have spin-fit threads, treated with an anti-galling agent for fast installation – plus special T-heads so they drop into bolt bar slots easily yet do not turn during tightening.
- STAINLESS STEEL BOLTING MECHANISM – is pre-assembled. Unique weight-saving Mueller design features lug and bolt bars which rotate as the clamp is tightened. This avoids bolt bending or binding, keeps tightening force close to the pipe surface and allows more efficient transfer of tightening force on the bolts to clamping force on the pipe.
IMPORTANT: MUELLER PIPE REPAIR CLAMPS have demonstrated their capability to seal against gas pressures commonly encountered in distribution systems. Smaller diameter clamps of a given design can seal against higher pressures than larger ones. In addition, the pressure that a clamp can contain is effected by the torque applied to the bolts, the uniformity of the bolt tightening (where there is more than one bolt) as well as the type of extent of pipe damage, surface condition of the pipe, environmental conditions and installation workmanship.Metallic components of repair clamps, including stainless steel, corrode at widely variable rates depending upon many factors, such as installation outdoors or underground, composition of surrounding atmosphere/soil, presence of stray currents, moisture or chemicals, etc. Consequently, repair clamps must be assumed to have a finite service life. Consult with a corrosion professional to determine the life expectancy of this repair clamp taking into consideration all appropriate factors in the application. The piping system designer should determine the suitability of this type product on your particular system. Unforeseen failure of this product could result if these precautions are not taken.
