Midland Industries FS12 Preformed Band Clamp 3 in Stainless

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES FS12 is a preformed band clamp designed for secure, reliable pipe and fitting connections at a 3-inch nominal size. Part of the F Series, this clamp is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The band measures 5/8 inch wide and 0.022 inch thick, providing consistent clamping force around the circumference of the joint. It is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors on piping systems where a clean, repeatable clamp profile is required. The preformed design holds its shape during installation, reducing the chance of misalignment or slippage on the fitting.

The FS12 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical piping applications. Its 3-inch nominal sizing fits standard pipe and fitting diameters in that range. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for wet, damp, or corrosive service environments where carbon steel hardware would degrade. Installers working on drain, waste, vent, or process piping systems will find this clamp fits standard assembly procedures without additional modification.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and harsh service conditions
• Preformed band holds its shape for consistent fitment and easier installation
• 3-inch nominal size fits standard pipe and fitting diameters in that class
• 5/8 inch band width provides broad contact surface for even clamping pressure
• 0.022 inch band thickness balances flexibility with structural integrity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation clamp for 3-inch nominal pipe and fitting connections in plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements. Ensure the pipe and fitting surfaces are clean and properly seated before applying the clamp. Do not overtighten or deform the band during installation, as the preformed profile must maintain contact with the full circumference of the fitting. Shut off and depressurize the line before servicing any existing clamp connection.
