The newly designed Safety Clamp improves operator safety throughout the industry. It specifically targets hazardous high temperature steam lines. It is extremely important to use a safety clamp for pipe connections and sight glass mounting since steam presents both high temperature and high pressure. The Safety Clamp's 'gate' style section combined with its stepped eyebolt assures that the bolting mechanism cannot swing open while the clamping union is part or fully assembled. Releasing the safety clamp is only possible when the wing-nut has been significantly loosened to enable the smaller diameter of the eyebolt to swing through the sectioned gate. This ensures that the clamp cannot be knocked or accidentally opened.
