Derwent Industries Clamp Fitting Instructions

Learn how to correctly install Derwent clamps to ensure a secure and leak-free pipe connection. These step-by-step instructions cover preparation, fitting, and tensioning for both Type R (rigid) and Type F (flexible) pipes. Use this guide to maximise clamp performance and longevity.

Installation Instructions.

    • Step 1:

      Ensure pipe is clean where clamp is to be located.
    • Step 2:

      Loosen the nuts to the end of the stud – do not remove.
    • Step 3:

      Apply an approved RRJ lubricant (supplied in attached sachet ) to rubber gasket and pipe.
    • Step 4:

      Wrap clamp around pipe ensuring damaged area is in centre of clamp and gasket is flat.
    • Step 5

      Locate locking plate into position with folded edge locked under flat bar, hand tighten nuts to lock mechanism into position.
    • Step 6

      Evenly tighten nuts to required tension as printed on the clamp.
    • Step 7

      Re-tension after 15 minutes minimum to counter gasket rubber relaxation.
