Wilton 22002 C-clamp 3 Inch Jaw 1-7/8 Inch Throat

Product Description

The WILTON 22002 is a 540A Series C-clamp rated for jaw openings from 0 to 3 inches with a throat depth of 1-7/8 inches. It is a general-purpose clamping tool used to secure workpieces during cutting, welding, drilling, and assembly operations. The clamp weighs 1.6 pounds, making it a solid, hand-manageable size for bench and field work. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fabricators reach for this style of clamp when they need a reliable hold during pipe fitting, duct fabrication, bracket mounting, or light structural work. The screw mechanism delivers steady clamping pressure across the full jaw range.

The WILTON 22002 suits residential and light commercial trade applications where a compact, fixed-frame clamp is needed. It performs well in tight spaces where larger bar clamps or pipe clamps will not fit. Typical uses include holding sheet metal sections during duct assembly, securing conduit brackets during layout, and clamping pipe flanges or fittings during soldering or threading operations. It is sold individually and is appropriate for any trade shop or service vehicle tool kit.

Key Features

• Jaw opening range: 0 to 3 inches for versatile workpiece sizing
• Throat depth of 1-7/8 inches allows reach over material edges
• Compact 1.6-pound frame suits hand carry and field service use
• 540A Series fixed C-frame provides rigid, stable clamping geometry
• Screw-drive mechanism maintains consistent pressure throughout the jaw range

Compatibility

Designed as a standard C-clamp suitable for general trade and fabrication use across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light structural applications where a 3-inch jaw capacity is appropriate.

Installation Notes

No dedicated license is required to use a C-clamp, but safe clamping practice applies on all job sites. Always ensure the clamp screw is fully seated against the workpiece before applying load. Do not exceed the rated jaw capacity or use extension bars on the handle to increase torque beyond the designed clamping force. Inspect the screw threads and frame for cracks or deformation before each use.
