During the use of American stainless steel hose clamp, in order to ensure that the locking process is both firm and tight, choose the appropriate throat clamp specifications: according to the diameter of the pipe and the pressure to be borne, choose the appropriate specifications of American stainless steel hose clamp. Make sure that the locking range of the throat clamp can completely cover and tighten the pipe. Before installation, check whether the surface of the pipe is smooth, free of impurities and residues. This helps to ensure that the throat clamp fits tightly with the pipe to avoid leakage.
Open the clamps on both sides of the American stainless steel throat clamp to ensure that the clamps can be easily put on the pipe. Put the clamps of the throat clamp on the two pipes to be connected respectively, ensure that the clamps are firmly stuck on the pipe, and expose part of the pipe so that the clamps can be effectively locked. According to the connection requirements of the pipe, adjust the position of the throat clamp on the pipe to ensure that the throat clamp can be evenly stressed and fit the pipe tightly.
Use tools such as screwdrivers or wrenches to turn the worm screw on the throat clamp clockwise so that the thread is embedded in the bite groove on the steel belt. During the rotation process, it is necessary to maintain appropriate force to avoid over-tightening to damage the clamp or pipe, and to avoid over-loosening to cause loose connection. As the screw rotates, the steel belt of the throat clamp will gradually tighten until the required locking force is reached.
After installation, gently move the throat clamp by hand to check whether it is firm and not loose. At the same time, observe whether there is leakage at the pipe connection. If the throat clamp is found to be insufficiently locked or loose, the rotation force of the screw can be readjusted to ensure that the throat clamp fits tightly with the pipe.
During the installation process, the operating specifications and instructions provided by the manufacturer should be followed to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the installation process. Although it is necessary to ensure that the throat clamp is firmly locked, it is also necessary to avoid over-tightening to cause damage to the clamp or pipe. During use, the locking state of the throat clamp and the connection of the pipe should be checked regularly, and any abnormality should be handled in time. Through the above steps and precautions, it can be ensured that the locking process of the American stainless steel throat clamp during use is both firm and tight, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the pipe connection.
