outlet at any location along the pipe. A hole
drilled or cut in the pipe to receive the locating
collar of the Clamp-T is all that is required. The
full, smooth outlet area provides for optimum
fow characteristics.
The Clamp-T housing is specially engineered to
conform to the pipe O.D. and the Clamp-T gasket
providing a leak tight reliable seal in both positive
pressure and vacuum conditions. The maximum
working pressure for all sizes is 500 PSI (34.5 bar)
when assembled on standard wall steel pipe.
The Gruvlok Clamp-T provides for a branch or cross
connection in light wall or standard wall steel pipe.
The Fig. 7045 Clamp-T female pipe thread branch is
available with NPT or ISO 7/1 connection and the
Fig. 7046 Clamp-T has grooved-end branch connection.
Clamp-T cross connections are available in various
sizes allowing greater versatility in piping design.
