FAQ's
Typical Queries and Information
What is Clambrace?
Clambrace is a no-weld, no-drill, hot-dip galvanized metallic beam clamp system that creates a secure mounting point for pipe supports and accessories without welding, cutting, drilling, or damaging the structural beam. It preserves beam integrity, speeds installation significantly, and supports broader corrosion-control strategies by keeping coatings intact and avoiding new welds or holes in the steel.
How does Clambrace install on the beam?
Clambrace uses four forged corner pieces that clamp onto the beam flange. Two corner sets are placed on opposite sides of the beam, then connected with galvanized threaded rods. Once the nuts are tightened, the assembly grips the flange and forms a strong, fully mechanical attachment point for pipe shoes, clamps, U-Bolts, slide plates, thermoplastic half-round rods, and other support hardware—no welding, drilling, or epoxy required.
What types of pipe supports can be mounted on Clambrace?
Clambrace is designed as a mounting platform for many RedLineIPS support configurations. It can carry clamp-on pipe shoes (including cryogenic shoes), PTFE and FRP slide plates, FRP wear pads, thermoplastic half-round rods, and other metallic and non-metallic RedLineIPS supports, allowing you to build a complete, weld-free pipe support system on existing beams.
How does Clambrace compare to welded or drilled beam connections?
Traditional welded lugs and drilled connections permanently alter the beam, can damage coatings, and typically require hot-work permits and access for welding or drilling. Clambrace installs with simple hand tools, requires no hot work or beam penetration, and can be loosened, repositioned, or removed later as layouts change. That reduces permit requirements, installation time, and long-term corrosion risk while keeping structural steel intact.
Is Clambrace reusable and what temperature range can it handle?
Yes. Clambrace is fully mechanical, so it can be loosened, moved to a new location, and re-tightened or reused on other projects as long as components remain within their service limits. Standard Clambrace components are hot-dip galvanized forged steels and galvanized hardware, with typical application temperatures from about −40°F to 662°F (−40°C to 350°C), depending on the specific clamp size and material grade shown in the catalogue.
