ABSTRACT:
An improved clamp connector for securing ends of tubular members together in tight sealed relationship and including a pair of semicircular segments having lips to engage the opposite sides of abutting projections on the tubular members, a pressure responsive actuator to preload the segments on the projections, connecting studs between the segments which are loaded by the actuator and blocks of a preselected size to be positioned in supporting relationship to the actuator in its preload position to maintain such preload on the segments and studs after the fluid pressure on the actuator is released. A pressure responsive portion of the blocks allows their quick and positive release when desired.
