Heavy Duty Corner Clamps

With five times the capacity of standard corner clamps, these secure two workpieces at a 90° angle. They have a pivoting clamping surface to hold materials of unequal thicknesses simultaneously. The screw is copper plated to resist weld spatter.

Welding Fixture Squares


2 Axes	2 Axes With Leveling Tabs	2 Axes with Joint Access Cutouts and Leveling Tabs

2 Axes with Locator Holes	3 Axes

Position your workpieces at the correct angle prior to welding. These squares have an extra-wide head, so you can clamp them in place.

Joint Access Cutouts—Squares with joint access cutouts make it easier to reach joints, such as when welding and gluing.

Locator Holes—Those with locator holes help you align your workpiece on a welding grid. They have _5/8" locating holes on 2" centers to fit into standard fixture table configurations.

Leveling Tabs—Leveling tabs are for aligning workpieces with one another.

Aluminum—Aluminum squares are lightweight and corrosion resistant.

Cast Iron—Cast iron squares are durable and difficult to dent or scratch. They resist weld spatter, but they’re more likely to corrode than aluminum.

Black-Oxide Steel—Black-oxide steel squares are stronger than aluminum and more corrosion resistant than cast iron.

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.

Magnetic Clamps


Style A	Style B	Style C

Style D	Style E

Hold magnetic workpieces in place.

Style E—Style E clamps have a handle to help pull them off surfaces.

Copper-Plated Steel Body—Copper-plated steel clamps won’t scratch steel surfaces. Their plating also stops weld spatter from sticking to their surface, so sharp spatter won’t cut you or your workpiece.

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.
