102 Universal Clamp Coupling – Extended Range
Description
Universal clamp couplings featuring multi-band construction offer compatibility with a wider range of pipes within the same nominal size. Extended range or multiband clamps are specifically designed to cater to the working characteristics of larger diameter pipes. In repair scenarios, several factors must be considered to ensure pipe integrity and a return to full service capacity. These critical factors encompass the size and type of pipe, severity of damage, working pressure or service requirements, repair location, and time constraints.
JCM Universal Clamp Couplings are readily available for emergency dispatch in various material combinations and sizes tailored to specific applications. The working pressure capabilities of JCM Universal Clamp Couplings are directly influenced by application parameters.

Attain Effective Repairs with…
Heavy Duty Bolting Lug Units – Robust lugs crafted from high-strength, low alloy ductile iron deliver durability and heft to endure high bolt torques, enabling maximum gasket compression. Engineered with a carefully balanced, low-profile lug design, they facilitate efficient transmission of bolt torque energy to the gasket. Sliding fingers, mutually reinforced, prevent distortion while tightening, ensuring consistent performance. Oval neck track bolts, housed in canted ears, resist turning or rotation during the tightening process.
Addressing Increased Dynamics of Repairs – For pipes with nominal sizes of 10 inches and above, the increased circumference, pressure forces, and required bolt torque necessitate sturdier materials. JCM Extended Range Clamps for sizes 10 inches and larger feature a larger, more substantial bolting lug unit equipped with a 3/4-inch bolt and a thicker gauge stainless steel band.
Heavy Gauge Stainless Steel Band – The stainless steel band’s maximum thickness ensures complete and uniform compression of the gasket around the entire pipe circumference. Clamps for pipe sizes 10 inches and larger, equipped with 3/4-inch bolts, feature a minimum material thickness of 17-gauge stainless steel.
Positive Attachment of Band to Lug – The heavy stainless steel band is securely attached to the lug unit through mechanical compression and strategically placed weld points, ensuring a strong connection that prevents band detachment during or after installation.
Swing Away Bolts – Installation is made easier as the bolt, nut, and washer stay together without any loose parts. Each bolt can be replaced independently in case of damage, ensuring straightforward maintenance.
Thick, Gridded Gasket – The 1/4-inch thick gasket, for sizes 3 inches and larger, conforms to the pipe wall and effectively fills surface pits and voids, aiding in sealing on uneven pipe surfaces.
Molded In Stainless Steel Bridge Plate – Prevents pinched gasket issues common with glued-on plates and ensures an even surface for straightforward installation, along with complete stainless steel encirclement protection. JCM Universal Clamp Couplings are suitable for various applications including chemical and acid lines, air/vacuum lines, natural gas (as specified), cooling water, methane, potable and wastewater, slurry, process lines, and others. Gasket materials such as SBR, Buna-N, EPDM, Hypalon, and others are readily available upon request.
