Midland Industries CPHLS-07 Hammerlock Centre Punch Clamp

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES CPHLS-07 is a stainless steel hammerlock centre punch clamp from the CPHLS Series, designed for secure band-style clamping in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical applications. The double-wrapped construction adds reinforcement at the clamp band, improving holding strength under vibration or thermal cycling. At 1-3/4 inch nominal size with a 5/8 inch wide band, this clamp is built for standard pipe and hose connections where a positive mechanical lock is required. The stainless steel material resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments. Plumbers, mechanical contractors, and HVAC technicians commonly specify this style of clamp where a reliable, tamper-resistant connection is needed.

The CPHLS-07 suits residential and light commercial installations involving pipe, hose, or conduit connections at the 1-3/4 inch nominal range. The hammerlock drive design allows installation with standard hand tools without requiring a separate worm-drive mechanism. Its compact band width of 5/8 inch makes it appropriate for close-clearance installations. This clamp type is commonly used in drain lines, vent connections, and general mechanical assemblies where stainless steel corrosion resistance is specified.

Key Features

• Double-wrapped band construction for added strength and durability
• Hammerlock centre punch drive - installs with standard tools, no worm gear required
• Stainless steel material resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments
• 1-3/4 inch nominal size fits standard pipe and hose at that diameter range
• 5/8 inch band width suited for close-clearance and tight-space applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation band clamp for 1-3/4 inch nominal pipe and hose connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a stainless steel hammerlock-style clamp.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or mechanical contractors following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Power down or depressurize the system before removing or installing clamps on pressurized lines. The hammerlock centre punch design is seated and set using a punch and hammer - ensure the clamp is fully engaged before returning the system to service. Do not reuse a clamp that has been driven and removed, as the locking deformation is a one-time set.
