Repair Clamp AGAflex Oba 3" (model 11010008) for 3-inch Pipes

AGAflex Oba 3" repair clamp is a bolted pipe repair fitting designed for use on 3-inch (approx. 76 mm) pipes. The clamp creates a mechanical seal to stop leaks or to cover damaged pipe sections quickly on site. Constructed for straightforward installation, this repair clamp is suitable for plumbing, drainage and many industrial piping systems where a durable clamped seal is required for temporary or permanent repairs.

Advantages

The repair clamp provides rapid leak containment without the need for pipe replacement or hot work. Its bolted design allows controlled compressive force around the pipe for a reliable mechanical seal. The clamp is compatible with common pipe materials and its robust construction ensures long-term resistance to mechanical stress and vibration in service. Installation requires basic hand tools and can be completed with minimal pipe preparation.

Suitable for

• On-site repair of leaks in 3-inch (≈76 mm) water, wastewater and drainage pipes
• Temporary or permanent sealing of damaged pipe sections in industrial installations
• Plumbing maintenance where a bolted clamp solution is preferred over cutting and replacing pipe
• Emergency repairs to stop active leaks until scheduled maintenance can be performed

Key specifications

• Designed pipe diameter: approximately 3 inches (≈76 mm)
• Mechanical sealing method: bolted clamp providing compressive seal
• Application environments: plumbing, drainage and industrial piping systems
• Installation: requires basic hand tools for tightening bolts
• Service use: suitable for temporary or permanent leak repairs

How to use

Prepare the pipe surface by cleaning debris, rust and loose material from the damaged area. Position the clamp around the pipe so the sealing surface covers the leak or damaged section evenly. Align the clamp halves and insert bolts, then tighten gradually and evenly in a crisscross pattern until the clamp makes a uniform contact and stops the leak. After installation, inspect the clamp and surrounding pipe for proper alignment and tighten bolts as needed following the manufacturer’s torque recommendations if available.

Usage recommendations

Use the clamp on the intended pipe diameter to ensure an effective seal; do not overtighten bolts beyond recommended torque to avoid damaging the clamp or pipe. For corroded or heavily pitted pipes, prepare the sealing surface thoroughly and consider additional support or replacement if structural integrity is compromised. Regularly inspect repaired areas as part of routine maintenance.
