De-sta-co 351-SS Pull-action Latch Clamp 450 Lb Ss

Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 351-SS is a horizontal pull-action latch clamp rated for 450 lb (2001.7 N) of load capacity. Built entirely from stainless steel, it is designed for applications where corrosion resistance and repeatable holding force are required. The clamp features a J-Hook bar style, a flanged base for secure panel or fixture mounting, and a straight handle with a red patented thumb control lever. With an overall length of 8.82 inches and a drawing movement of 4 inches, it delivers consistent pull-action clamping in a compact form factor. Machinists, fixture builders, and assembly line technicians are the primary installers of this style of clamp.

The 351-SS is suited for horizontal clamping tasks in industrial and manufacturing environments, including workholding fixtures, jigs, and tooling stations where a secure latch is needed across repeated cycles. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for wash-down environments, food processing lines, and other settings where steel corrosion is a concern. The flanged base allows direct bolt-down mounting to flat surfaces using the provided mounting hole pattern.

Key Features

• 450 lb (2001.7 N) rated load capacity for reliable pull-action holding force
• Full stainless steel body and bar construction for corrosion resistance
• J-Hook bar style with threaded adjustment included
• Patented thumb control lever for controlled release action
• Flanged base with defined mounting hole pattern for rigid surface mounting
• 4-inch drawing movement for consistent clamp engagement depth

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit clamp for horizontal pull-action latch applications requiring a J-Hook, flanged base configuration in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or fixture builders using standard hand tools. Mount the flanged base to a rigid flat surface using fasteners appropriate for the mounting hole diameter of 0.22 inches. Ensure the surface is clean and flat before torquing fasteners to prevent base distortion. Adjust the threaded J-Hook to achieve the correct clamping height before final lockdown, and verify full engagement of the thumb control lever during function testing.
