ABSTRACT:
A clamp for repairing a pipe. The clamp includes a flexible metal band having adjacent one of its ends a plurality of lengthwise spaced apart holes. The flexible metal band is held about the pipe by a pair of lugs, including a first lug fixed to the end of the metal band opposite the end with the holes. A second lug is positionable adjacent the end of the metal band with the holes. A bolt is provided for passing through a selected one of the holes to join and draw together the lugs. A tab is provided between the first lug and the metal band to urge the metal band into clamping engagement with the second lug. An elastomeric gasket sheet is attached to the metal band at its central portion and includes two free ends. The gasket sheet is long enough to encircle the pipe with one of its free ends overlapping the other. The overlapping free end includes a metal strip which underlies the lugs.
