Style FS1 Ford All Stainless Steel Repair Clamps
Brand: Ford Meter BoxThe Ford FS Style All Stainless Steel Repair Clamp combines the corrosion-resistant characteristics of stainless steel and the sealing capabilities of rubber to provide a strong, dependable and versatile repair clamp.
The all stainless design is lightweight and easy to handle under adverse conditions associated with almost every main break.
The fixed position of the studs provides uniform control and fewer parts to fall into the trench.
The sliding lifter bar is retained on the studs by the heavy hex nuts and facilitates the installation by serving as a handle while installing the clamp.
Bi-directionally tapered lugs allow the lifter bar to easily slide into locking position on the sidebar
Specifications
Brand
Band
- Type 304 stainless steel
Studs and Heavy Hex Nuts
- Type 304 stainless steel per ASTM A193 and A194
- Coated nut threads to prevent galling
- Studs are permanently attached to the clamp sidebar by means of a Metal Inert Gas (MIG) weld
Lugs
- Type 304 heavy gauge stainless steel, MIG welded to clamp sidebar
- Lugs are rounded and tapered for easy installation
Sidebars
- Type 304 heavy gauge stainless steel Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welded to form a strong, permanent fusion with the repair clamp band

Armor
- 1/4 hard heavy gauge stainless steel vulcanized and recessed into the gasket to ensure uniform compression against the pipe
Passivated
- All clamps are fully passivated by means of a chemical technique which restores the corrosion resistant characteristics of the stainless steel
Options Include
- Conductivity strips
- NBR (Buna-N) gasket (suitable for natural gas applications) - Recommended for 220°F continuous and/or 240°F intermittent
- EPDM gasket recommended for 300°F continuous and/or 320°F intermittent
- 316 stainless steel

Belleville Washers for Use on HDP
- Belleville washers, also referred to as spring washers, promote consistant force on the gasket as the pipe diameter expands and contracts. The Belleville washers are made of 17-7 PH stainless steel. Depending on the pipe size and recommended installation torque, Belleville washers are used singularly, or in a stack to allow for more expansion/contraction of the pipe. Flat washers not always included or needed on some HDPE products
