USC-1 Speed Clamp Connector
The USC-1 Speed Clamp Connector is a cost-effective alternative to conventional flanged connections on wellheads and BOP stacks. The connector consists of a series of individual clamp segments, each attached to a drive screw. As the drive screws are tightened, the clamp segments pull the hub connections together. The connector can be quickly installed, removed and reused without special tools. The speed clamp connector is available in sizes from 11" through 21-1/4" and pressure ratings from 2,000 psi through 10,000 psi.
