scope:

This standard describes fabricated full-encirclement stainless-steel band clamps for use in the repair or tapped service connection of potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed water piping systems. They are intended for nominal pipe sizes 2 in. (50 mm) through 12 in. (300 mm). Full-encirclement repair clamps shall be manufactured completely from stainless-steel or a combination of stainlesssteel band and cast ductile-iron lug, along with stainless-steel or low-alloy carbon steel bolts and nuts, depending on service requirements and the purchaser's documents. Tapped service connection outlets may be provided and shall range from ½-in. through 3-in. (12-mm through 75-mm) sizes. This standard does not cover stainless-steel tapping saddles the seal of which is not fully circumferential. Repair clamps for larger than 12-in. (300-mm) nominal pipe diameters are available from various manufacturers but are not covered by this standard.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to provide the minimum requirements for fullencirclement- type repair clamps and full-encirclement service connection clamps for various pipe materials, including system components, testing, and marking requirements.
