Krausz USA Presents HYMAX Clamp At ACE16

Quickly repairs holes, cracks in water and wastewater pipes, Only two bolts to tighten for pipes up to 12”

Krausz USA introduced recently its HYMAX Clamp which quickly and easily repairsholes and longitudinal cracks in water and wastewater pipes. With only two bolts to tighten (length sizes up to 12”), installation is simple and minimizes worker-time in the ditch (three and four bolts are needed for larger sized pipes).

“Installers can easily position and attach HYMAX Clamp by sliding it over the pipe and then tightening the bolts with a double-click to confirm proper installation,” said Krausz USA President Tom Gwynn. “Installers can know with confidence that when they hear the double click, the HYMAX Clamp has been installed properly and the bolts will remain tight without the need to be re-torqued.”

HYMAX CLAMP becomes a permanent part of the pipe that reliably withstands harsh ground conditions offering a durable, long-term repair solution. The weld-free construction and 100% stainless steel body make it extremely tough and resistant to corrosion while the waffle pattern gasket is securely connected with insulated bolts to the body of the clamp.

In addition to being durable, the HYMAX Clamp features a working range of up to 1.60” that allows utilities to save valuable inventory shelf-space and costs. It can replace up to three standard clamps that can be used on a range of pipe sizes and materials. This enables inventory reduction by keeping a smaller number of products on-hand while reducing the risk of installing the wrong size clamp.

“Installers can enter the ditch with confidence knowing that a HYMAX Clamp will fit to complete the repair,” said Gwynn. “With its simple installation and high durability, crews can fix pipes quickly and leave the site knowing that the repair will last over the long-term.”
