Installation Instructions Models 136 Heavy Duty All Stainless Steel Repair Clamp
Read instructions before starting installation* Review of “Tricks of the Trade” on the reverse will assist with installation. For purposes other than water, contact JCM Industries for application and product assistance. 1. Clean and scrape pipe. Remove any scale, pipe wrap, debris or dirt that may interfere with the complete sealing of the gasket. Inspect pipe for integrity, size, outside diameter and surface irregularities. Confirm the proper size and range of repair clamp. Inspect fitting to ensure all parts are included. Fitting is furnished with stainless steel hardware; see reverse for fastener management. 2. Lubricate the pipe and the fitting gasket with soapy water. Do not use oil base pipe lubricant. 3. Position top half of clamp body on pipe centered over damage area. Do Not position so that rotation is required. Rotation can result in gasket dislocation. Position back half of clamp body over tapered gasket edges extending from top half of body, making certain the tapered edges of the gasket lay smooth and install bolts. NOTE: For fittings with hardware furnished with double washer sets, to assure ease of installation and obtain optimum bolt torque levels, install the double set of washers under each nut. 4. Tighten outside bolts first, working toward the center. Tighten bolts evenly. Alternate from one side of the clamp to the other. The gap between clamp halves should be equal on both sides. Tighten bolts to the following torque levels: Rigid pipe (DI, CI, A/C, Steel), C-900/905 PVC 4” - 8” Nominal Pipe Sizes 85 ft. lbs. minimum - 125 ft. lbs. maximum 10” and Larger Nominal Pipe Sizes 100 ft. lbs. minimum - 125 ft. lbs. maximum Thin wall, flexible, class PVC (SDR 21, 26) 50 ft. lbs. minimum - 55 ft. lbs. maximum
5. Complete installation of fitting, return after approximately 15 minutes and confirm minimum bolt torque levels have been maintained.
For water applications: if applicable, test assembly seals with water. (per ANSI/AWWA C-223). When testing the assembly against the pipe to pressures greater than the internal pressure of the host pipe, application should be treated with caution to prevent imploding or damaging the pipe wall due to thin wall, flexible or brittle conditions.

*Ensure fitting is suitable for application (confirm size, materials, pressure ratings, line content, meets local governing & association standards, etc.). Pipeline operation forces, including pressure fluctuations, thermal expansion/contraction, movement/shifting, etc. will influence the success of the application. Proper anchorage, restraint, harnessing, thrust blocks or other devices must be provided to prevent pipe movement (lateral, angular, axial) or pipe pullout from the bolt-on fitting. Inspection of the pipe integrity is the responsibility of the end user. JCM recommends the use of calibrated torque wrench. Failure to follow installation instructions will result in voided product warranty. For application review or questions contact JCM Industries at 1-800-527-8482, 903-832-2581
