ABSTRACT:
A pipe repair clamp for repairing damaged piping is disclosed. The clamp includes a hollow, cylindrical slit compression gasket having axially extending end portions. The end portions define a relatively small, axially extending gap when the gasket is initially installed on a pipe to be repaired. An armor sleeve is mounted on the outside surface of a first portion of the gasket and has axially extending ends arcuately spaced unequal distances from the end faces of the gasket. A clamping band encircles the gasket and the sleeve so that tension applied to the band will exert compressive force on the gasket and sleeve. The band is in contact with a second portion of the gasket when the band and gasket are initially installed on the pipe and out of contact with third and fourth portions of the gasket. The fourth portion of the gasket includes at least one of the end portions which terminate in the end faces so that the gap will be closed and the third and fourth portions will be substantially eliminated when compressive force is exerted by the band.
