Pearl Exhaust Clamp – 1 5/8in Size 1 5/8in. (PEC04C)

Description

Genuine Pearl · Part no. PEC04C

Pearl PEC04C is an exhaust clamp sized for 1 5/8in pipe, around 41mm in diameter. The U-bolt and saddle wrap round the overlap where a male pipe pushes into a female one, and the thread length suits this pipe size, so tightening the two nuts closes the outer pipe firmly onto the inner one.

Good to know

• Is 1 5/8in close enough for a pipe that measures a little under? Usually the clamp should match the outer pipe; a clamp far too big will bottom out its thread before it grips, so check with calipers rather than guessing.
• The old clamp has rusted solid, what now? Use penetrating oil and give it time; if the nuts still will not turn, cut through the U-bolt with a hacksaw, wearing eye protection and gloves.
• Will the clamp alone stop a blow? It holds the pipes together, but a small gap can still leak, so put exhaust assembly paste on the joint before you push it home and clamp it.

Which one?
