Multi-Clamp Applications

Special fittings, lower operating pressures, and fewer vibrating components may help prevent leaks, however, this is not the complete answer.

One of the most crucial requirements is to clamp the hydraulic lines and properly secure the fittings where leaks can occur. Unclamped hydraulic tubing will reverberate as does a tuning fork. Fluid velocity, pressure, and improper line size all contribute to high frequency vibration, shock, surge, and noise. Far more damaging is the resultant flexing and coldworking of tubing, particularly around couplings, resulting in split lines and fittings.

Now in our 39th year, Hydro-Craft is proud to present this catalog of five separate and unique clamping systems. 32 years ago, Hydro-Craft engineered and patented a system for clamping hydraulic lines and securing breakpoint fittings. This system is called the MULTI-CLAMP^® and is the industry standard in clamped breakpoint systems.

Now, Hydro-Craft applies its expertise to include a full range of clamping systems, including the WALKER-STRUT^® channel-mounted system, the only clamp in the world with this exclusive breakpoint feature. Also available are the HYDRO-STRUT^® and SILENT-STRUT^® channel mounting systems.

All systems are available in zinc-dichromate plated steel or 304 stainless steel. MULTI-CLAMP^® is also available in aluminum.
