Irwin 224212 Clutch Pipe Clamp 1/2 Inch Pipe

Product Description

The IRWIN 224212 is a clutch-style pipe clamp designed for use with 1/2 inch non-threaded pipe. It features a 1-7/8 inch throat depth, giving technicians adequate clearance when securing pipe runs in tight or confined spaces. The clamp is built for plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical applications where unthreaded pipe must be held firmly in place against a structure or framing member. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC installers use this type of clamp during rough-in work and system installation where reliable, consistent pipe support is required.

This clutch pipe clamp is suited for residential and light commercial installations involving 1/2 inch non-threaded pipe. Common applications include copper water supply lines, refrigerant lines, and similar small-diameter piping systems where a secure, low-profile clamp is needed. The clutch mechanism allows for quick engagement and release, reducing installation time on multi-point pipe support runs.

Key Features

• Clutch-style mechanism for fast, secure engagement on non-threaded pipe
• 1-7/8 inch throat depth accommodates clearance in confined framing spaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch non-threaded pipe in standard plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC or IMC code requirements for pipe support spacing. Shut off the relevant water or refrigerant system before securing or adjusting pipe clamps in a pressurized line. Use appropriate fasteners for the mounting surface — wood, steel stud, or concrete — as hardware is not included. Do not use this clamp on threaded pipe, as it is designed exclusively for non-threaded pipe applications.
