FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DONALDSON ENHANCES STEPPED SEALCLAMP™ EXHAUST CLAMP
New Clamp has 360º Sealing Surface and is Pre-Assembled for Easy Installation!
MINNEAPOLIS – August 31 – Donaldson Company Inc. (NYSE: DCI) announced a redesigned Stepped SealClamp™ Exhaust Clamp. This new and improved clamp is lighter weight, easier to install and provides reduced leakage on exhaust connections as compared to other designs.
Available in stainless and aluminized steel, the Donaldson Stepped SealClamp is a full 360-degree clamp designed for overlapping tube connections including muffler inlets, outlets, slotted joints and flex tubing. The Stepped SealClamp's unique shape features an inside sealing surface that matches the stepped shape of an overlapped joint, providing a critical seal for minimizing exhaust leaks. The V-grooved installation indicator on the top side is a visual reference to proper torque during installation. The unique stepped center bar conforms to tubes in overlapping connections to improve the seal at the joint. Competitive clamps with straight center bar designs are not able to conform to a standard pipe shape, creating an increased opportunity for leaks.
Pre-assembled with fewer parts and a reversible threaded nut bar, this new and improved Stepped SealClamp can be assembled with one wrench and requires less torque than other designs for easier installation. In addition, all parts have been treated with a rust resistant coating to extend product life.
