Wilton 42530 Standard C-clamp 700 Lb Ductile Iron

Product Description

The WILTON 42530 is a light-duty standard C-clamp built from ductile iron for use in fabrication, welding, and general metalworking applications. It provides a maximum opening capacity of 3 inches and a minimum opening of 0 inches, covering a full range from fully closed to 3 inches. The deep throat depth of 4.5 inches allows work to be positioned further from the clamp edge, which is useful when clamping wider workpieces or reaching over obstructions. Rated at 700 pounds of clamping force, this clamp is suited for light-duty holding tasks in shop and field environments. The screw carries a black oxide finish to resist corrosion during storage and use.

This C-clamp is designed for light-duty clamping in metalworking shops, fabrication bays, and general maintenance environments. The deep throat configuration makes it a practical choice when standard-throat clamps cannot reach the work surface due to material width or flange geometry. Tradespeople including welders, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics commonly use this style of clamp to hold workpieces during tacking, drilling, or assembly operations.

Key Features

• 700-pound clamping force capacity for light-duty holding applications
• 3-inch maximum opening accommodates a range of workpiece thicknesses
• 4.5-inch deep throat depth provides extended reach beyond workpiece edges
• Ductile iron construction offers durability under clamping stress
• Black oxide screw finish provides corrosion resistance
• Minimum opening of 0 inches allows use on very thin or flat stock

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose light-duty C-clamp for standard shop and field clamping applications where a 3-inch maximum opening and deep throat configuration are required.

Installation Notes

C-clamps of this type are installed by hand using the threaded screw and swivel pad to apply clamping force against the workpiece. No power tools are required for installation. Do not exceed the rated 700-pound clamping capacity, as over-tightening can crack ductile iron frames. Inspect the clamp body and screw threads for damage before each use.
