BB® 2 clamp: Double-screw end-to-end connection

The BB® 2 clamp has been developed to face the increasing necessity for tightness and weight reduction on automotive exhaust lines. Its innovative design (patented) gives it excellent weight/performance and cost/performance ratios. The clamp consists of an integral band, two screws, two nuts and a gasket.

Characteristics:

  • The BB® 2 clamp ensures tightness up to gas temperatures of 850°C.
  • Tensile strength: over 3000 N.
  • High mechanical retention (pull-off and torsion resistance).
  • Allowable leak rate: 2 to 5 litres/min at 0.3 bar.
  • Weight for diameter 50 mm: 320 g.
  • The BB® 2 clamp withstands corrosion, vibration and automotive fluids.
