The Mathey Dearman Manual Lever Cage Clamp, specifically the Cage Clamp, Hand Lever Tack Type 10 Inch model (part number 01.0505.010), is a robust and precise tool designed for aligning pipes ranging from 2 to 60 inches (60.3 to 1,524 millimeters) in diameter. This particular clamp is engineered to fit a 10-inch (273 millimeter) pipe, ensuring accurate alignment for pipe schedules up to schedule 80. It is important to note that this clamp is intended for alignment purposes only and is not designed for reforming pipe. Mathey Dearman's cage clamps are available in manual hand lever, ratchet, and hydraulic models, with both tack and no-tack versions. The tack-type straight cross bars, featured on this model, have flared ends that facilitate easy positioning and clamping of pipes for tack welding. Once the tack welds are complete, the clamp can be quickly removed to finish the full weld. For optimal alignment, the pipe's outer diameter should not vary more than +/- 3/16 inches (5 millimeters) from the indicated clamp diameter. Customization options are available upon request, including clamps with stainless steel contact points or for odd-size pipes. For stainless steel versions, simply add 'SS' to the end of the part number. The no-tack cross bars, available on other models, are arched to permit a full-circle weld without removing the clamp, potentially increasing welding quality and efficiency. This durable clamp has a shipping weight of 51 pounds (22.95 kilograms) and shipping dimensions of 18 x 18 x 18 inches (457 x 457 x 457 millimeters). It is a reliable tool for professionals in pipe fabrication and welding, ensuring precise and efficient pipe alignment on the job site.
