Universal Chain Clamp
General Information
Universal Chain Clamps reform pipe to Schedule 20 and align pipe to Schedule 40. Available in carbon steel chain and stainless steel chain versions to fit pipe from 1” to 36” (25 mm to 914 mm). The versatile design provides the ability to accurately fit-up, weld and grind joints without removing the clamp. The Level and Support Device of the Universal Chain Clamp allows pipe, elbow, tee, flange and other fittings to be safely secured during the alignment and welding process. Although all Mathey Dearman Chain Clamps feature stainless steel Jackscrews, Jackbars and Main Blocks, stainless steel chain should be used on stainless steel or specialty alloy applications to avoid potential contamination.

THE DOUBLE JACKSCREW CHAIN CLAMP SHOULD NEVER BE USED AS THE SOLE SUPPORT FOR THE PIPE OR TO LIFT THE PIPE.

USE OF CHAIN NOT SUPPLIED WITH THE CLAMP BY MATHEY DEARMAN WILL VOID THE CLAMP WARRANTY.
COMPLETE WELDING OF THE JOINT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH REMOVING THE CLAMP. ADD-ON JACKBAR CAN BE ADDED IF PRESSURE NEEDS TO BE APPLIED BETWEEN THE CLAMP JACKBARS. JACKSCREW PADS PIVOT INDEPENDENTLY TO HANDLE UNEVEN SURFACES. OPTIONAL SPACING SCREWS CAN BE ADDED FOR PRECISE WELD GAP ADJUSTMENT.
