Temporary Repairs with Sealing Clamps
Repair clamps are used for an immediate repair to prevent the loss of liquid through large rips or holes.
For example, if a vehicle accidentally backed into a bucket and caused a 3" (76 mm) long rip in the
bucket, a repair clamp could be inserted to stop the loss of liquid. Repair clamps are only used for
temporary repairs. The damage should be permanently repaired with a patch when the bucket can be set
aside for 24 hours.
1.
Select the largest clamp that will just slip through the hole in the item. The size of cut or hole
will determine the size of the sealing clamp to use:
•
For a cut or hole up to 2" (5 cm), use a 3" (7.6 cm) clamp.
•
For a cut or hole up to 4" (10 cm), use a 5" (12.7 cm) clamp.
•
For a cut or hole up to 6" (15 cm), use a 7.5" (19 cm) clamp.
2.
Keeping hold of the string, slip one half of the repair
clamp through the hole as indicated.
3.
Pull the bolt up through the hole. Turn it until the
clamp lines up with the hole.
CAUTION
Please read these instructions carefully and follow them exactly to obtain a good repair. Failure to follow
these instructions or poor repair workmanship can lead to failed repairs and/or more damage to the
bucket.
