FAQs
Does this clamp come in other sizes?
Yes, Jetex offers various sizes, including 2-inch and 2.5-inch universal exhaust clamps.
Can I use this for stainless steel pipes?
Yes, it is compatible, but note that the galvanised clamp may cause galvanic reaction over very long periods in wet environments; stainless clamps are preferred for pure stainless setups.
Is this clamp reusable?
Yes, the U-clamp design is intended to be removable and reusable provided the threads remain in good condition.
What tools do I need for installation?
A standard socket set or an open-ended wrench is sufficient for installation.
Does the size refer to inner or outer diameter?
The size indicated reflects the internal diameter of the clamp.
Troubleshooting
Exhaust leak after installation
Ensure the clamp is positioned correctly over the slit in the pipe and tighten the nuts evenly on both sides.
Clamp feels loose or slides on pipe
Verify that your pipe's outside diameter exactly matches the 3-inch internal diameter of the clamp.
Nuts are difficult to turn due to rust
Apply a penetrating oil to the threads and allow it to sit for 15 minutes before attempting to loosen or adjust.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent corrosion resistance due to galvanised finish
- Easy to install and adjust with standard hand tools
- Solid construction suitable for heavy-duty exhaust applications
- Highly versatile for various custom pipework setups
Cons
- Requires precise pipe diameter measurement for an effective seal
- Not intended for high-pressure turbo manifold connections
- Standard U-bolt design may leave marks on thin-walled stainless piping
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, slide the clamp over the outer pipe and position it over the joint connection. Tighten the nuts evenly using a socket wrench or spanner until the pipes are held securely. Ensure you do not overtighten to the point of deforming the tubing.
Regarding compatibility, this clamp is specifically designed for 3-inch nominal diameter piping. Always verify the actual outer diameter of your exhaust tube with calipers before purchase. For maintenance, periodically inspect the threads of the U-bolt after the first 500 miles of driving and apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads if you live in an area that uses road salt, as this will ensure the nuts remain removable in the future.
