They are built to compress evenly around the joint to reduce leaks, minimize vibration noise and protect pipe ends from damage during installation. Each pack contains two clamps designed for quick, repeatable fitment when joining inset or outset exhaust tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these clamps create a reliable seal on 5\" exhaust joints?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lap joint band wraps around overlapped pipe sections and applies uniform pressure across the entire circumference, which helps close gaps and resist gas escape.
