2. Informació de seguretat

AVÍS: Si no es segueixen aquestes instruccions de seguretat, es poden produir danys materials, lesions greus o la mort.

• Sempre utilitzeu l'equip de protecció individual (EPI) adequat, incloent-hi ulleres i guants de seguretat, durant la instal·lació.
• Ensure the structural beam and the pipe/conduit are capable of supporting the combined weight of the clamp, attached items, and any potential loads.
• Do not exceed the maximum rated load capacity of 500 lbs for this clamp.
• Verify that all bolts and nuts are securely tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications (if available, otherwise ensure firm tightness without over-tightening).
• Inspeccioneu el clamp and surrounding structure regularly for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Replace damaged components immediately.
• Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with local building codes and safety regulations.

3. Components del producte

The Eaton B-line Series B422-1 1/2AL Right Angle Beam Clamp typically consists of the following components:

• Principal clamp body (aluminum)
• U-bolt or similar pipe-securing mechanism
• Mounting bolts and nuts (quantity as required for secure fastening)

Figura 1: Illustration of the Eaton B422-1 1/2AL Right Angle Beam Clamp in an installed configuration.

This illustration demonstrates the correct installation of the Eaton B422-1 1/2AL Right Angle Beam Clamp. It shows the clamp securing a cylindrical pipe to the flange of a structural beam using two bolts and nuts. The clamp body is positioned over the beam flange, and the pipe is cradled by the U-shaped portion of the clamp, secured by the bolts.

4. Configuració i instal·lació

1. Identificar la ubicació de muntatge: Select a suitable structural beam that can safely support the intended load. Ensure the beam flange is compatible with the clampdisseny de.
2. Col·loca el Clamp: Place the main body of the B422-1 1/2AL clamp over the edge of the structural beam's flange. The curved portion designed to hold the pipe should face downwards.
3. Insert Pipe/Conduit: Carefully position the 1 1/2-inch pipe or conduit into the U-shaped cradle of the clamp.
4. Fixacions segures: Insert the provided bolts through the clamp body and the pipe-securing mechanism. Thread the nuts onto the bolts.
5. Estrènyer les connexions: Using appropriate tools, gradually tighten the nuts evenly until the clamp firmly grips both the beam and the pipe. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the clamp or the pipe. Ensure the clamp és estable i no trontolla.
6. Inspecció final: Visually inspect the installed clamp to confirm it is properly seated, all fasteners are tight, and the pipe is securely held.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

The Eaton B422-1 1/2AL beam clamp is a static support device. Its "operation" primarily involves ensuring it remains securely installed and within its load limits.

• Capacitat de càrrega: No sotmeti la clamp to loads exceeding 500 lbs. This rating includes the weight of the pipe/conduit and any contents or attached equipment.
• Dynamic Loads: Aquest clamp is designed for static loads. Avoid applications involving significant vibration, shock, or dynamic forces unless specifically engineered for such conditions.
• Consideracions ambientals: Assegureu-vos que el clamp is used in environments compatible with aluminum construction. Avoid exposure to corrosive agents that could compromise material integrity.

6. Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of the beam clamp.

• Inspecció periòdica: Conduct visual inspections at least annually, or more frequently in harsh environments or high-stress applications. Check for:
  • Subjeccions soltes.
  • Signs of corrosion, cracks, or deformation on the clamp body or fasteners.
  • Damage to the pipe or beam at the clamppunt d'ing.
• Apretar els elements de fixació: Re-tighten any loose bolts and nuts to ensure secure attachment.
• Neteja: Netegeu el clamp as needed to remove dirt, dust, or debris that could obscure damage or contribute to corrosion.
• Substitució: If any part of the clamp shows significant wear, damage, or corrosion, replace the entire clamp assembly. Do not attempt to repair damaged clamps.

7. Solució De Problemes

This section addresses common issues that may arise with beam clamp instal·lacions.

• Clamp is Loose:
  • Causa: Fasteners not tightened sufficiently or have loosened over time.
  • Solució: Re-tighten all bolts and nuts securely. If loosening persists, consider using thread-locking compound (if compatible with materials and environment) or consult a professional.
• Pipe/Conduit Slipping:
  • Causa: Insuficient clamping force, incorrect pipe size, or excessive load.
  • Solució: Ensure fasteners are tight. Verify the pipe diameter is 1 1/2-inch for optimal fit. Reduce the load if it exceeds the clamp's capacity.
• Visible Damage to Clamp:
  • Causa: Overloading, impact, or material fatigue.
  • Solució: Immediately remove the clamp from service and replace it with a new, undamaged unit. Do not use damaged clamps.
