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 10 5 / 16 " wide, 2 1 / 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.
