A device for sealing a lap joint between two conduits is disclosed herein. The device includes a band clamp. The device also includes a packet or other type of container secured to the band clamp. The packet contains a sealant which moves or flows to void areas between the clamp and the conduits during clamp tightening to provide a more fluid tight seal about the lap joint.
