ABSTRACT:
An improved clamp and clamp supporting apparatus includes a clamp of semicircular arcuate segments with enlarged ear portions having bolt studs positioned thereon in a staggered pattern. Through holes are drilled in the ear portions in a complementary pattern to receive the bolt studs of adjacent clamp segments with nuts threaded thereon to secure the clamps around abutting clamp hubs and maintain the hubs in sealed relationship. One of the clamp hubs has paired guide rods extending therefrom on opposite sides engaging mating holes in the clamp to allow positioning the clamp in a desired position without requiring additional support means.
