Pearl Exhaust Clamp – 1 7/8in Size 1 7/8in. (PEC07C)

Description

Genuine Pearl · Part no. PEC07C

Sized for 1 7/8in exhaust pipe, about 48mm, the Pearl PEC07C is a U-bolt clamp for sealing up a slip joint, where a male pipe sits inside a female one. Once the nuts are drawn up the saddle squeezes the outer pipe round the inner one, so the sections stay aligned and the joint stays closed.

Good to know

• How should I position it? Sit the clamp over the overlap, close to the end of the outer pipe, and across any slits in that pipe so they close up as you tighten.
• Is the old clamp worth keeping? Usually not; a used U-bolt has been stretched once and its thread is often rusted, so a new clamp pulls up tighter and comes off more easily next time.
• The joint still blows after clamping, why? The pipes may not be pushed fully home, or the pipe ends may be worn thin; refit them with sealant, and replace a section that has rotted at the joint.

Which one?

For a slightly smaller pipe use the 1 3/4in (PEC06C); the 2in clamp comes single (PEC08C) or as the Pearl Exhaust Clamp – 2in – Pack Of 10 Size 2in. (PEC08).
