ABSTRACT:
A clamp assembly for temporarily clamping a tapping tee saddle 1 to a pipe 9 has a platform 2 and a pressure member 32 which is connected to the platform by a rod 24 slidable in a screw shaft 16, the shaft 16 being screw adjustable relative to the platform 2. A compression spring 40 is provided between the pressure member 32 and the shaft 16. Flexible straps 54 are connected to the platform 2 to extend around the pipe 9 for clamping the assembly to hold the saddle on the pipe. Clamping pressure is provided by screw adjustment of the shaft 16 in the platform 2 to compress the spring 40 between the member 32 and shaft 16 and a consequent reaction against the straps 54. During adjustment of the shaft 16, the rod 24 is displaced relative thereto and its position in the shaft 16 provides an indication of the clamping pressure which is exerted on the saddle 1.
