Designed from 304 stainless steel with a zinc-plated M20 bolt, steel gasket, and aluminum alloy I-block, the coupler delivers corrosion resistance and predictable clamping torque while simplifying installation and maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this clamp connect two 2.0\" exhaust pipes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sleeve slips over the butt joint where two 2.0-inch OD pipes meet and tightens with the integrated M20 bolt and nut to create a sealed mechanical connection.
