Product overview
Repair Clamp Connector FCD
The FCD is shown in the current catalogue as a mechanical connector for compatible metal and selected non-metallic pipe conditions. Engineering review is especially important when materials, ODs or end profiles differ.
Connector-style stainless steel repair clamp for compatible pipes.

Selection focus
Four checks for this stainless steel repair clamp connector FCD
- 1State both pipe materials, ODs and end conditions.
- 2Provide the end gap, available straight length and alignment condition.
- 3Confirm operating pressure, temperature, medium and axial loading.
- 4Send a drawing or site photo when pipe profiles differ.
Installation notes for Repair Clamp Connector FCD
- Compatibility cannot be inferred from nominal diameter alone.
- The piping system must control axial and bending loads.
- Commission only after an even seal and staged pressure test are confirmed.
Choosing Repair Clamp Connector FCD
Use FCD as a connector-led option, not as an automatic substitute for every leak clamp. Compare FCE when a longer connector or repair sleeve is needed, and CR-1 when the job is limited to sealing a localized defect on one continuous pipe.

Frequently asked questions
Repair Clamp Connector FCD FAQ
What information defines an FCD repair clamp connector?
The enquiry should identify the main pipe OD and material, connector or branch requirement, defect geometry, working pressure and the space available for assembly. A marked-up drawing is preferable for a non-standard repair.
How is FCD different from a plain stainless band repair clamp?
FCD includes a connector function, while a plain band is focused on covering a localized leak area. The branch load, orientation and sealing arrangement therefore need separate review.
What installation risk is created by a loaded branch connection?
Unsupported branch pipe can transfer bending or vibration into the clamp. Support the connected pipework independently and follow the approved tightening and pressure-test procedure.
