Unlike a compression coupling, which can have frequent pipe misalignment during installation, the Schenck Process Quick Clamp No-Ledge coupling delivers a machined tolerance joint. This ensures proper alignment and creates a ledge-free interior environment on connection points. As a result, friction and crevices which catch product and cause fines are greatly reduced.
The Quick Clamp No-Ledge coupling offers a recessed O-ring gasket that delivers a smooth transition through a positive sealing metal-to-metal joint. This eliminates gasket contact with the product stream—a critical improvement in sanitary piping system design. Quick Clamp No-Ledge is available with a single T-handle or nut, or backing flanges that tightens the clamp around the male and female flanges. The clamp presses the face of the male and flanges together by way of a bevel on the edge of each flange compressing the o-ring creating an air tight seal. Lightweight design and a tool-free assembly option speeds installation.
