Claim 21:
22. The kit as defined in claim 21 wherein the two or more adjacent arced bands comprise two substantially identical arced bands with the central arc portion forming about 180° of the arc segment of the anchoring clamp and said laterally extending connecting portions extend laterally from opposed ends of the central arc portion for connecting the two substantially identical arced bands about the external peripheral groove of the pipe coupling; and
wherein each of the two substantially identical arced bands further comprise two laterally extending arc elements, each of the laterally extending arc elements having their inner concave element surface on the radially inner side of said arced band and each laterally extending arc element extending laterally from a corresponding one of the laterally extending connecting portions;
wherein when the adjacent arced bands are connected to assemble the anchoring clamp about the exterior peripheral groove, each of the laterally extending arc elements face a corresponding laterally extending arc element of the adjacent arc band to form two axial channels each parallel to the coupling longitudinal axis and diametrically opposed on the assembled anchoring clamp, with each axial channel defining a corresponding axial opening configured to axially receive corresponding fastening mechanisms in the longitudinal direction parallel to the coupling longitudinal axis to fasten the anchoring clamp to the perpendicular portion of the structure perpendicular to the coupling longitudinal axis.
