Pipe Welding Clamps

External Clamping—Thumb

Screw Adjustment

External Clamping—Self-Centering

Internal

Clamping—Self-Centering

Hold pipe and fittings together for tack welding. These clamps can be used to weld two pipes of similar or different diameters, or they can be used to weld a pipe to a flange. With a rugged build, they’re designed for use with heavy pipe.

External Clamping—External clamps work well when you can’t access the inside of your pipe. However, you may need to rotate them during welding to move them out of the way.

Internal Clamping—Internal clamps don’t obstruct welding, making the process faster and simpler. One side of these two-part clamps expands with a knob while the other expands with a hand bar, so you can set them at different diameters to join pipe and flanges of varying sizes.

Thumb Screw Adjustment—Clamps with thumb screws hold fittings or flanges at three separate points—adjust them manually to center the two pieces being joined.

Self-Centering—Self-centering clamps consist of two clamps that share a center line even as you attach each to a different piece of pipe, so the pipes stay aligned with no manual adjustment needed.

Heavy Duty Chain Pipe Welding Clamps


Straight Clamps	Flange Clamps

Adjustable Clamps

The open clamp design permits welding around almost the entire pipe circumference. Secure components with chains and tighten the handles.

Straight Clamps—Straight clamps are for use with two lengths of straight pipe and with reducers.

Flange Clamps—Flange clamps are for flanges and straight pipe.

Adjustable Clamps—Adjustable clamps are for use with straight pipe, elbows, tees, reducers, and risers. They pivot on a hinge to hold components at any angle from 90° to 180°.

Aluminum Body—Aluminum clamps are lighter in weight than iron clamps.

Iron Body—Iron clamps are more durable than aluminum.

Pipe Flange Alignment Kits

Hand-Crank Alignment

Ratchet Alignment

Hydraulic Alignment

Align flanges on heavy pipes when alignment pins don't fit through the flange holes. Often used for pipefitting, welding, and maintenance, these kits make it possible to correct angular and offset misalignment on a range of pipe sizes.

Choose an alignment mechanism based on how much force you need to move the pipe. If you're not sure, measure the flange hole diameter—it correlates to the pressure class and size of your pipe. Larger pipes typically require more force.

Hand-Crank Alignment—Hand-crank aligners are best for routine maintenance and quick repairs. As you turn the hand crank, it moves the pipe.

Ratchet Alignment—Ratchet aligners produce four times as much force as hand crank aligners. Position the tool's arm through a flange hole on the pipe you plan to move, and place the lead screw on the edge of the stationary pipe's flange. Wrap the strap around the pipe you plan to move. As you rotate the lead screw with a wrench, the misaligned pipe moves into position.

Hydraulic Alignment—Hydraulic aligners are best for severe misalignment—they generate over twice as much force as ratcheting aligners. Position the tool's arm through the flange hole on the pipe you plan to move, and place the lead screw on the edge of the stationary pipe's flange. Wrap the strap around the pipe you plan to move. As you press down on the hand pump connected to the lead screw, the pipe moves.

Stepped Pipe Flange Aligner Pins

Each step on these aligner pins matches common bolt holes on pipe flanges, so they're more precise than conical aligner pins and don’t require nuts. Press the pair of pins into mated flanges to make sure the flanges are aligned. Once two sets of holes are aligned, you'll know the rest of the holes are as well. Made of durable chrome-plated steel, they'll hold their shape over time and resist rust.

Pipe Flange Aligner Pins

Insert a pair of these nut-and-bolt pins into adjacent flange holes and tighten to align flanges before connecting two pipes. One pin in each pair has a level for vertical alignment. Use a separate level to align the flange horizontally. Also known as two-hole pins.

4 1/2" Lg. Extension—Pins with a 4 ½” length extension let you increase the length of your pins to align thicker flanges.

Two Couplings—Use the included couplings to connect the extension to your pins.

Magnetic Pipe Flange Aligners with Level

Ensure an even seal around your flange—these tools align and level flanges in a single step. The strong magnets make sure your bolt holes are perfectly inline horizontally and that your flange isn’t tilted. If your flange is made of stainless steel or another nonmagnetic material, secure these aligners using the included threaded cones.

Magnetic Pipe Flange Aligner Pins

Swiftly and accurately align pipe flange bolt holes without the hassle of threads. These pins have strong magnets that snap together. Insert them into adjacent bolt holes to help make sure flanges are parallel before connecting pipes. Also known as two-hole pins.

For 2 3/4" Flange Thickness—Pins for 2 _3/4" thick flanges can be used with pipe flange aligner extensions (sold separately) to lengthen their reach for flanges up to 3 _1/2″ thick.
