Hinged Clamp+Sleeve Installation
This section defines the general procedure for Clamp+Sleeve Installation on a horizontal pipe. Vertical
or angled pipe installations may require additional lifting devices, and/or a different hinge design and
operation.
1.
Orient the Clamp+Sleeve and remove all studs and nuts as shown in Figures 8 & 9.
2.
Attach shackles to the lifting eyes. Smaller fittings typically only have lifting eyes in the center of
the shell as shown in Figure 8. Larger diameter fittings have additional lifting eyes on an angle as
shown in Figure 9. For larger diameter fittings, the angled lifting eyes are to be used during
installation with hinges.

3.
Attach properly sized rigging such as chains, cables, or straps to a single point crane attachment.
The rigging should be sufficiently long enough that the rigging doesn’t interfere with opening and
closing of the fitting as shown in Figure 10.
