Abstract:
1. A high compression pipe clamp comprising: a. a hollow rigid inner housing having a first end, an outer diameter, and a first strap bracket at a first end of the inner housing; b. a hollow rigid outer housing having a first end, an inner diameter and a second strap bracket attached at the first end wherein the inner diameter of the outer housing is larger than the outer diameter of the inner housing to encircle the inner housing; c. wherein a second end of the inner housing is positioned inside a second end of the outer housing; d. a threaded rod passing through the inner housing and outer housing; e. a threaded nut engaging the threads on the threaded rod; f. a strap having a first end attached to the first strap bracket and a second end attached to the second strap bracket; g. a strap length adjustment system allowing for adjustment of the effective length of the strap between the first end and the second end; and h. wherein rotation of the threaded rod in a first rotational direction relative to the threaded nut repositions the first strap bracket towards the second strap bracket to reduce the effective inner diameter of the strap and housing combination around a section of pipe.
