2.0 – INTRODUCTION
The light weight design of the QUIK-Fit Clamp makes it ideal for shop or field. The T handle assembly allows the clamp to be rapidly
adjusted from one pipe size to another. The QUIK-Fit Clamp’s three (3) carbon steel bars contact the main pipe and precise Hi-Lo is
accurately obtained by adjusted the three (3) wing screws. The Quik-Fit Clamp makes it easy to precisely align any pipe within its
clamping range. The clamp comes with stainless steel kit containing stainless steel slippers to go over the carbon steel bars for stainless
steel applications.
