Midland Industries BC2-075A-DP High Pressure 2-bolt Clamp

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES BC2-075A-DP is a high pressure 2-bolt ground joint clamp designed to secure high pressure couplings in demanding fluid and gas transfer applications. Constructed from malleable iron for durability under load, this clamp carries a 3/4 inch nominal size with a minimum clamp diameter of 1-3/16 inches and a maximum clamp diameter of 1-5/16 inches. The 2-bolt design is rated for 21 ft-lb of torque, providing consistent clamping force across the joint. It is installed by pipefitters, plumbers, and industrial maintenance technicians working with ground joint coupling assemblies.

This clamp is suited for high pressure ground joint coupling applications found in industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty fluid transfer systems. It functions as part of a 2-bolt clamp assembly in the Buchanan Rubber high pressure ground joint product line, also referenced as BU9 Dixon. Typical installations involve securing hose-to-pipe or pipe-to-fitting ground joint connections where elevated pressure and vibration resistance are required.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to mechanical stress
• 2-bolt design rated for 21 ft-lb torque for reliable joint closure
• 3/4 inch nominal size with a clamping range of 1-3/16 to 1-5/16 inches
• Compatible with high pressure ground joint couplings
• Low minimum order quantity for single-unit replacement or service needs

Compatibility

Designed for use with high pressure couplings in the Buchanan Rubber ground joint product line, also referenced under the BU9 Dixon designation. Suitable for 2-bolt high pressure ground joint clamp applications within the 1-3/16 to 1-5/16 inch clamping diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed pipefitters or industrial maintenance technicians. Shut off and fully depressurize the system before removing or installing any clamp or coupling assembly. Use a calibrated torque wrench to achieve the specified 21 ft-lb bolt torque evenly across both bolts. Follow applicable piping codes and the coupling manufacturer guidelines for ground joint assembly procedures.
