Sumner Clamp Champ, Operator'S Manual

Using the Sumner flange pins

Fitting up a "T" perpendicular to 

the pipe and in line with the pipe

1.  Mount the Clamp Champ onto the pipe as 

shown in the earlier section.  Position the 
jack screws so that the ball is even with the 
surface of the pipe.

Step 1

2.  Rotate the adjustment knob on the leveling 

and supporting device so that approximately 
2 inches (50mm) of threaded shaft is 
extended.

CAUTION -

Do not lift fitting by leveling

and supporting devices.  If the fitting is
too heavy to lift, use a crane or Roust-A-

Bout. 

Step 4

5.  Once flange is resting on jack bars, hook 

leveling and supporting device chain onto 
notch located behind the main block.  Allow 
spaces between pipe and flange for 
adjustment.

6.  Check for high-lows by adjusting jack 

screws.

7.  Face up flange by using the level and sup-

porting device.  

8.  For two-holing, use Sumner Flange Pins 

(Sumner PN 780430) which can be mount
ed in two flange holes.  Using a torpedo 
level resting on the Sumner flange pins, 
rotate fitting until level.
