Pipe clamp
for vee head
stands
SUMNER Manufacturing’s Hold-E pipe clamp is used for
securing pipe from ¾" to 6" in diameter on standard vee
head pipe stands. The Hold-E is constructed from a steel
frame and utilises a quick-release button to open and close
the clamp arms in seconds.
“The Hold-E provides a quick, easy, safe clamp for holding
pipe in vee head jack stands,” said Sumner president Rob
Collins. “The quick release button adds the extra feature of
being able to quickly add or remove the clamp. The Hold-E is
unique to the industry, providing a compact pipe clamp that
is quick and simple to use.”
The Hold-E features curved arm weldments that fit
underneath the vee head, a ram weldment shaped to firmly
grip both small and large pipe, a quick release button to
quickly resize the clamp to fit over pipe, and a threaded
t-handle assembly for manually tightening the pipe to the vee
head. The Hold-E measures 105/16 " wide, 21/8" deep and from
15¾" in height in its most compact form, to 23" high.
The clamp can be used on standard pipe or tubing, fittings
and complex pipe layout work. The Hold-E is a clamping
device that should not be used for threading or lifting.
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 daily in more than 50 countries around the
world, in numerous industries. The company maintains offices
in the USA, Canada, China, the UK and the Netherlands.
