To choose the correct size and type of Skinner BCTB Stainless Steel Band Clamp for your pipe repair needs, you should consider the following factors:
1. Pipe Size: Determine the diameter of the pipe that needs to be repaired. The Skinner BCTB Band Clamps are available in various sizes ranging from 0.75" to 12.00".
2. Type of Leak: Identify the type of leak you are dealing with. If you have small pinhole leaks, you can use the BC-EC or BC-FC models. If you have larger leaks or require a full circle gasket, you can choose the BC-FC model. For higher pressure applications, the BC-SB or BC-DB models are recommended.
3. Working Pressure: Consider the maximum working pressure of your pipe system. The Skinner BCTB Band Clamps have different pressure ratings, ranging from 100 psi to 300 psi, depending on the model.
4. Installation Torque: Take into account the recommended bolt torque for each model. The torque values range from 25 ft/lb to 95 ft/lb, depending on the clamp size and type.
Once you have determined the pipe size, type of leak, working pressure, and installation torque requirements, you can select the appropriate Skinner BCTB Band Clamp from the available options in the specifications provided.
Remember to thoroughly clean the damaged area before installation, center the gasket over the leak, and tighten the bolts evenly to the recommended torque. Finally, pressure test the installation for leaks and check for any remaining leaks before completing the repair.
