Midland Industries FLJ212 Preformed Clamp 3-1/2 in 301 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES FLJ212 is a preformed band clamp designed for secure pipe and hose connections at a 3-1/2 inch nominal size. Constructed from 301 stainless steel, this J Series clamp provides corrosion resistance suitable for demanding plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. The preformed design holds its shape during installation, allowing for consistent clamping force without deformation. At 0.2 pounds, the FLJ212 is a lightweight fastening component rated for professional trade use. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically specify this type of clamp where reliable band retention and material durability are required.

The FLJ212 is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a 3-1/2 inch nominal band clamp is required. The 3/4 inch wide band profile distributes clamping load evenly around the pipe circumference, reducing the risk of point stress on softer pipe materials. This clamp is commonly installed during new construction rough-in and retrofit service work on duct, drain, and mechanical piping runs where stainless steel corrosion resistance is specified.

Key Features

• 301 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Preformed band retains shape for consistent clamping force during installation
• 3-1/2 inch nominal size fits standard pipe and hose OD in that range
• 3/4 inch band width distributes load evenly across the clamping surface
• Lightweight at 0.2 pounds for easy single-hand placement
• Minimum order quantity of 1 for flexible procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation band clamp for 3-1/2 inch nominal pipe and hose connections in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or mechanical contractors following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Shut off the relevant fluid or pressure source before removing or replacing any clamp on an active line. Use appropriate hand tools to seat the clamp evenly; avoid over-tightening, which can distort the preformed band. Inspect the mating pipe or hose surface for burrs or damage before securing the clamp.
