Marman clamp

Pipe clamps are brackets for pipes on the building, supporting structures or machines.

In the Swiss -speaking countries, the term " Bride" is used for larger pipe and pipe clamps.

There are a number of models. A distinction is made, for example in the area of ​​TGA ( Technical Building ) one-piece and two-piece pipe clamps. These may be made from steel (e.g. S235JR), stainless steel or plastic. The type of material normally depends upon the material of the pipe. Pipe clamps made ​​of steel, there are sound-insulated and non- insulated design. The sound insulation, which is used for anti-vibration mounts, is in most cases made ​​of rubber ( eg Ethylen-Propylen-Dien-Kautschuk/Styrol-Butadien-Kautschuk ).

Pipe clamps made ​​of pressed sheet steel have usually at the lower part via threaded connection ( welded nuts), over which they are attached by means of threaded pin or rod. Popular sizes are M8, M10 and M12, often has such a mother graduated two thread sizes on. By hooking a hinge on one side they come with a clamping screw over. To simplify assembly, this can be performed captive slide into a slot of the clamp top and snap into a recess at the end of the slot.

Hydraulic lines to machines are often screwed into block Schell pairs according to DIN 3015 made ​​of aluminum, plastic ( polypropylene or polyamide) or encapsulated elastomer. 2 screws pull one or several pairs of blocks stacked on a base plate, which can slip before putting in a slide yet. Blocks with a certain distance, there are screws of different pipe diameters within a certain range.

Variously serve double (or multiple) clamps for bundling flying lines.

Tube - snap clips plastic comprise a tube only slightly more than 180 ° of the circumference and are primarily used for the installation of electrical wiring in protective ears, slight water pipes made ​​of plastic or plastic -aluminum composite. They are made of polyamide, for example.

Sewage pipes and rainwater downpipes are often mounted in the family house area with lightweight plastic clamps that can be closed with a screw or even a snap-on lid.

Traditional pipe clamps for rainwater downspouts consist of two connected by a hinge halves usually made ​​of galvanized sheet metal. In the center of the back, a rough square nail is riveted, which is driven into masonry or wood. A tools - on the roof advantageous - easy to handle eye bolt with M8 thread bolted the front with the rear flap, which has an internal thread.
