Pipe repair clamp GEBO QA 6/4" GZ for steel pipes, model 17.195.00.05

GEBO pipe repair clamp QA 6/4" GZ is a mechanical clamp designed for sealing and repairing steel pipelines. Intended specifically for use on steel pipes, the clamp creates a localized mechanical connection and sealing surface around leaks, cracks or damaged pipe sections. The product is suitable for planned maintenance, emergency repairs and coupling operations in industrial and municipal installations where a fast and reliable sealing solution for a single damaged point or short section is required.

Advantages

The clamp provides a quick mechanical seal without the need for welding or hot works, reducing downtime and permitting repair under controlled pressure in many cases. Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials and featuring a profile gasket, it ensures a consistent seal on round steel pipes and accommodates minor surface irregularities. The clamping design allows repeatable installation and removal for inspection or replacement of the gasket.

Suitable for

• Repairing localized leaks on steel water and process pipelines
• Emergency temporary sealing until permanent repair is performed
• Maintenance and coupling of short pipe sections in industrial plants
• Municipal pipeline repairs where mechanical sealing is preferred over welding

Key specifications

• Nominal pipe connection: suitable for steel pipes with 6/4" nominal size
• Clamping type: mechanical two-piece clamp with bolted closure
• Sealing element: profile gasket designed for round steel surfaces
• Material characteristics: corrosion-resistant metallic clamp body and gasket material compatible with water and common process fluids
• Application environment: industrial and municipal pipeline systems for localized repairs

How to use

Position the two clamp halves around the damaged section of the steel pipe so the gasket aligns with the leak area. Insert and hand-tighten the bolts to hold the halves together, then tighten the bolts evenly in a cross pattern to achieve uniform compression of the gasket. Verify the clamp is centered on the damage and torque the bolts to the manufacturer’s recommended values where available. After tightening, inspect for leaks and, if applicable, perform a pressure test according to site procedures. For removal, loosen bolts evenly and separate clamp halves for inspection or replacement of the gasket.

Usage recommendations

Use the clamp on pipes with compatible outer diameter and surface condition; remove loose scale or sharp projections before installation. Do not use the clamp as a permanent replacement for a severely corroded or structurally compromised pipe section—plan for permanent repair or replacement. Follow site safety procedures, pressure testing protocols and recommended bolt torque values. Store spare gaskets and bolts in dry conditions to ensure readiness for emergency repairs.
