Autogem Exhaust Clamp – U Style – Pack of 10 (EC38)

Description

Genuine Autogem · Part no. EC38

This Autogem pack holds ten U clamps sized for 38mm exhaust pipe, part number EC38. A U clamp has a threaded U bolt, a saddle and two nuts; tightened over the joint where one pipe slides inside another, it squeezes the outer pipe down so the joint holds and stops blowing. Ten in the box covers several jobs.

Good to know

• Where on the joint does the clamp go? Over the overlap, close to the end of the outer (female) pipe, so it squeezes that pipe down onto the inner one; if the outer pipe end has slots cut in it, clamp over the slots.
• How tight should the nuts be? Tighten the two nuts a little at a time, turn about, so the saddle pulls down square; overtightening can crush or split the pipe.
• No callipers to hand? Wrap a strip of paper round the pipe, mark where it meets, and divide that length by 3.14; a result of 38mm means the EC38 pack is the one.

Which one?

Between sizes? The next size down is EC36 (36mm) and the next up is EC42 (42mm), both Autogem U clamp packs of 10.
