Improved internal fit-up clamps
Founded in 1965 in Houston, Texas,
Sumner Manufacturing has served the
welding and mechanical contracting
industry for nearly a half century,
creating material lifts, jack stands,
pipe fit-up clamps, welding tools and
material carts that are currently used
in more than 50 countries around the
world.
The company has introduced a new
8" to 12" internal fit-up clamp for
large flange-to-pipe fit-up, and the
Sumner 4" to 8" internal fit-up clamp
has been improved, making it sturdier
in mounting heavy flanges during pipe
fit-up.
“The Sumner internal fit-up clamp has
been an innovative tool for the pipe
fitter,” commented Sumner president
Rob Collins. “The improvement of our
4 to 8" internal fit-up clamp is in direct
response to customer feedback, and
the new, larger 8 to 12" internal fit-up
clamp offers a proven Sumner tool for a
whole new range of pipe fittings.”
The Sumner internal fit-up clamp allows
quick and easy flange to pipe fit-up by
inserting one end of the clamp in a pipe
and tightening it down, followed by
slipping a flange over the other end of
the clamp and tightening it to the flange.
Tightening the clamp to both pipe and
flange automatically centres the flange
to the pipe.
Sumner Manufacturing maintains offices
in the USA, Canada, China, UK and the
Netherlands.
