FAQs

What material is the Autogem Exhaust U-Bolt Clamp made from?

The clamp is constructed from high-quality electro-plated steel, offering durability and corrosion resistance.

How do I determine the correct size clamp to order?

Measure the outer diameter of the exhaust pipe you intend to clamp. Select the Autogem clamp size that most closely matches this measurement.

Are these clamps sold individually or in packs?

The Autogem Exhaust U-Bolt Clamps are supplied individually.

Can this clamp be used on any part of the exhaust system?

Yes, it is suitable for various connection points within a standard automotive exhaust system, provided the correct size is used.

How often should I check the tightness of the clamp?

It is recommended to inspect exhaust system components, including clamps, during regular vehicle maintenance or any time you notice unusual noises. Re-tighten if necessary.

What is the benefit of the electro-plated finish?

The electro-plated finish provides a layer of protection against rust and corrosion, helping to extend the lifespan of the clamp, especially in wet or salty conditions.

Troubleshooting

Clamp does not fit securely.

Ensure you have selected the correct clamp size for the exhaust pipe diameter. The clamp should provide a snug fit before tightening.

Exhaust leak detected after installation.

Check that the clamp is tightened evenly on both sides of the U-bolt. Ensure the clamp is centered correctly over the joint and that no part of the exhaust system is damaged or misaligned.

Clamp shows signs of rust quickly.

While electro-plated, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments may cause surface rust. Consider applying a protective anti-corrosion spray for added longevity.

Difficulty tightening the nuts.

Ensure the threads on the U-bolt are clean and free from debris. If threads are damaged, the clamp may need to be replaced.

Pros and Cons

  • Resistant to rust and corrosion, extending its lifespan in automotive environments.
  • Versatile with a wide range of sizes to fit many exhaust applications.
  • Ensures a secure and stable connection for exhaust pipes.
  • Simple to install for both professional mechanics and home users.

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement to select the correct size.
  • Sold individually, which may increase cost for multiple applications.
  • Electro-plated finish can eventually wear under extreme conditions.
  • Not designed for aesthetic applications; purely functional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Identify the exhaust components that need joining or securing.
  2. Measure the outer diameter of the exhaust pipe where the clamp will be fitted.
  3. Select the appropriate Autogem U-Bolt Clamp size that closely matches the pipe diameter.
  4. Position the clamp around the pipe and the component it connects to.
  5. Thread the nuts onto the U-bolt ends and tighten evenly, ensuring a snug fit without overtightening.

Compatibility:

This clamp is designed for use with standard automotive exhaust systems. It is compatible with most steel exhaust pipes. Ensure the size is correct for the specific application. Refer to the Autogem range for different sizes if the ECL32 is not suitable.

Care:

Given the durable electro-plated steel construction, minimal care is typically required. Periodically inspect the clamp for signs of excessive corrosion or damage, especially in harsh climates. If rust appears, a light application of anti-corrosion spray can help prolong its life. Ensure the nuts remain tight; re-tighten if necessary.
