Romac 171-072412000 Repair Clamp 6x12 in Stainless Steel

Product Description

The ROMAC 171-072412000 is a Style CL1 stainless steel repair clamp designed to seal leaks and restore pressure integrity on 6-inch pipe with a coupling length of 12 inches. Built from heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel, it covers pipe outside diameters ranging from 6.84 inches to 7.24 inches. The shell is bonded with an E-coat epoxy finish for enhanced corrosion resistance, making it suitable for buried, exposed, or otherwise harsh service environments. Licensed plumbers and water utility crews install this clamp as a fast, durable field repair on pressurized water mains and distribution lines.

This clamp is rated for use on steel pipe, cast iron pipe, asbestos cement pipe, and plastic pipe, covering the widest range of pipe materials encountered in municipal water distribution and industrial piping systems. The removable lug design addresses close-clearance installation scenarios where standard fixed-lug clamps cannot be maneuvered into position. The boat-nose lug geometry guides the clamp into engagement without binding, reducing installation time in tight trenches or confined utility vaults.

Key Features

• Heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel shell with E-coat epoxy for corrosion resistance
• SBR rubber gasket with stainless steel armor bridging the lug gap area for a solid seal
• Removable lugs allow installation in close-clearance or confined-space applications
• Boat-nose lug design eases engagement and reduces installation effort
• High-strength low alloy steel trackhead bolts for secure clamping force
• NSF certified and compliant with AWWA C-111 and AWWA C-230 standards
• Manufactured in the USA

Compatibility

Rated for steel pipe, cast iron pipe, asbestos cement pipe, and plastic pipe with an outside diameter range of 6.84 inches to 7.24 inches on 6-inch nominal pipe size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water utility technician. Depressurize and isolate the affected pipe section before applying the clamp whenever safe and operationally feasible. Follow AWWA installation guidelines and any applicable local plumbing or public works codes when making repairs on pressurized water mains. Inspect gasket seating and confirm all bolts are evenly torqued in a cross pattern before returning the line to service.
