8 C-Clamp Copper - J.H. Williams

Specifications

• Model Number: 20008
• Manufacturer Part Number: 20008
• Type: C-Clamp
• Material: Copper
• Jaw Opening: 8 inches (nominal)
• Weight: 7.91 lbs

Key Features

• Copper Construction: Engineered from copper, providing inherent non-sparking properties and excellent resistance to corrosion.
• 8-Inch Jaw Capacity: Offers a wide jaw opening to securely accommodate various workpiece sizes and materials.
• Robust Frame Design: Built for durability and dependable clamping force in demanding work environments.
• Fine Thread Acme Screw: Ensures smooth operation and precise adjustment for consistent clamping pressure.

Applications

• Hazardous Environments: Ideal for settings where non-sparking tools are critical to prevent ignition, such as petrochemical plants, gas pipelines, and certain manufacturing facilities.
• Welding and Fabrication: Suitable for positioning and securing workpieces, particularly useful in applications involving non-ferrous metals or where material compatibility is important.
• Marine and Chemical Industries: Its copper composition provides superior resistance to rust and degradation in corrosive saltwater or chemical exposure.
• General Assembly: Reliably holds components during gluing, drilling, or fastening tasks.
• Electrical Grounding: Copper material can facilitate effective electrical grounding in specific industrial setups.

Benefits

• Enhanced Safety: The non-sparking property of copper significantly reduces the risk of accidental ignitions in potentially explosive atmospheres, protecting personnel and property.
• Extended Product Life: Superior corrosion resistance ensures the clamp remains functional and reliable even in harsh, moisture-rich, or chemical-laden conditions, reducing replacement frequency.
• Versatile Use: The substantial 8-inch jaw opening allows technicians to handle a diverse range of projects, from small components to larger assemblies, with a single tool.
• Material Protection: Copper's relative softness compared to steel minimizes the risk of marring or damaging sensitive or finished workpieces, maintaining material integrity.
