Midland Industries BC4-200A-DP High Pressure 4-bolt Clamp

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES BC4-200A-DP is a high-pressure 4-bolt ground joint clamp designed for secure, leak-resistant connections in demanding pipe and hose assembly applications. Built to handle elevated pressure conditions, this clamp features a 4-bolt configuration that delivers uniform clamping force across the joint. It accommodates a nominal size of 2 inches, with a minimum clamp diameter of 2.5 inches and a maximum clamp diameter of 2-25/32 inches. The specified torque value of 60 ft-lb ensures proper seating without over-compression. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this clamp type.

This clamp is suited for high-pressure ground joint applications in both industrial and commercial environments. Typical use cases include securing hose ends, couplings, and fittings in fluid transfer systems where standard worm-gear or single-bolt clamps are insufficient. The 4-bolt design distributes load evenly, making it appropriate for systems subject to pressure surges, vibration, or thermal cycling. It fits into the high-pressure ground joint section of plumbing and piping supply catalogs and is commonly specified where enhanced joint integrity is required.

Key Features

• 4-bolt design provides even clamping force across the full joint circumference
• Accepts nominal 2-inch pipe or hose with clamp diameter range of 2.5 inches to 2-25/32 inches
• Rated for 60 ft-lb torque to ensure consistent, reliable seating
• High-pressure ground joint classification for demanding fluid transfer service
• Minimum order quantity of 1 unit for flexible procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a high-pressure ground joint replacement or new-installation clamp for 2-inch nominal pipe and hose assemblies requiring a 4-bolt clamping configuration in industrial and commercial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber familiar with high-pressure joint assembly procedures. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing clamps or fittings. Tighten all four bolts in a cross pattern to achieve the specified 60 ft-lb torque evenly. Follow applicable local codes and refer to ASME or manufacturer guidelines for high-pressure piping assembly standards.
