Behringer’s pipe clamps are available with many different mounting
configurations and arrangements. In choosing a pipe clamp, there are
five required pieces of information: series, size, clamp pair material,
hardware material and mounting/hardware configuration.
Series Selection
In order to select the proper clamp, the first thing that must be
determined is the series of clamp to be used. Refer to pages 4-5 on
Series Specifications to see what clamp series are available, as well as
the technical characteristics of those series. The most important
factors to be considered are the operating pressure of the line to be
secured, the weight being supported, and the dynamic load. Other
considerations include size, environment, and application. For
example, a 1 in. pipe for a hydraulic system operating at 2,000 psi
would typically require the use of the standard series, but the heavy
series may be selected if it will be required to support the weight of a
large filter or other system component. Maximum weight loads and
shearing forces can be found in the Technical Appendix (pg 32). Also,
the heavy series might be selected rather than the standard series if the
line is on a piece of mining or mobile equipment that may see a very
high amount of impact with other equipment or materials such as
stones and metals. In Fig. 1 below, you can see the suggested operating
pressures by series. These suggested values take into consideration the
shock and vibration that a typical hydraulic system operating at these
pressures can deliver.
Fig. 1: General Pressure Guidelines by Series
SeriesSuggested Operating Pressure
Standard up to 2000 psi
Heavy5000 psi for single heavy/10,000 psi for double
Twinup to 1500 psi
Heavy 45000 psi for single heavy/10,000 psi for double
Size
The next important factor in the selection of the pipe clamp is the size
of the line to be secured. Behringer clamps use a modular group size
that consists of multiple OD sizes being available within the same
group. Clamps are listed as pipe or tube sizes. The difference is in the
standard measurements used to rate pipe and tubing sizes. Pipe is
rated by the inside diameter, and will have a larger outside diameter
because of the wall thickness. For example, a 1 in. pipe has an OD of
1.315. This is a standard pipe OD size and is consistent of all
hydraulic pipe, regardless of schedule. Tubing, on the other hand, is
rated by the outside diameter. Therefore, a 1 in. tube will have an OD
of 1.00 in. This is important in determining the size of the pipe clamp
that will be selected. Also, the size may determine the series of clamp
selected. For example, in a 6 in. pipe size with a low pressure line
operating at 1,500 psi the Heavy Series must be used as it’s not
available in the Standard Series.
Clamp Pair Material
The clamp pair material is the next thing that should be selected.
Behringer’s clamp pairs are offered in different materials: Polypropylene
(PP), Santoprene (SP), Aluminum (AL), HDPE (NN) and High
Temperature Cast Nylon (HT). The single most important determining
factor of clamp pair material is operating temperature. The temperature
ratings and other important specifications can be found in the Technical
Appendix (pg 31). Some materials are not available in all sizes or all
series. Refer to the specific clamp pair selection charts from each series
to see what is available in the required size. Other considerations for
materials are compatibility with the environment and for aesthetic
reasons.
Hardware Material
Once you have determined the series of pipe clamp and the size that is
required, the next step is to determine the hardware materials that you
will require. In the series specification pages (pg 4 - 5), you will see that
each series has a standard hardware material type. See Fig. 2 for
standard hardware choices. The standard hardware is either plain carbon
steel or zinc plated steel. All Behringer clamps that are zinc plated use a
trivalent blue zinc plating, which is more environmentally friendly than
typical hexavalent zinc plating, and is RoHS compliant. In addition to
the standard hardware choices, Behringer offers stainless steel in 2
grades from stock. AISI 304 Stainless Steel (A2 - 1.4301/1.4305) is used
in applications where stainless steel is required. This may be in an
outside environment, because of chemical compatibility reasons, or
because of requirements from the FDA or other regulatory committee.
AISI 316 Ti Stainless Steel (A4 - 1.4401/1.4571) is a high grade
stainless steel. The 316 Stainless is used in applications where it will
come in contact with salt water or air with a high salt concentration such
as offshore or marine applications.
Behringer offers a multitude of mounting configurations and
arrangement styles. Clamps can be mounted to the support structure by
either welding, bolting, rail-mounting, strut mounting, or stanchion and
special securing plates. In addition, clamps can be stacked on top of each
other, suspended from threaded rods, or any number of double and group
positions can be made on multiple clamp weld plates, called Group Weld
Plates (GRW). These options are not available for every series. Please
check the ordering code for available mounting and hardware
configurations. Here are some examples of these mounting types.
Weld Mounting [STW, SWP, TWP]
Clamps are supplied with a weld plate for welding
directly to the support structure. This is the most common
form of clamp mounting and it is available in all series of
pipe clamps. It is typically used with a cover plate and
bolts and it is a commonly stocked item.
Standard Series: STW
Heavy Series:SWP / DWP
Twin Series:TWP
Heavy 4 Series:SWP / DWP
Bolt Mounting with Base Plates [BAP]
Clamps are supplied with a base plate for applications
where the clamp cannot be welded into position. This is
commonly used to mount the clamps to non-metallic
surfaces such as wood or drywall. However, base plates
can be welded into position if required. Base plates are
only available in the standard series and are available
from stock.
Rail Mounting [RCN, RAL]
Rail mounting makes installation of multiple lines of
different group sizes an easy task. All clamps within
one series can be mounted directly to a single
channel using rail nuts that are designed for that rail.
Behringer also makes proprietary rails that can
accept the weld plates rather than the rail nuts
[RCN]. The rail uses are as follows.
RAL-0 Standard and Twin Series Clamps with
RCN-0 (standard) / RCN-T0 (twin)
RAL-1 Standard and Twin Series with STW or
RCN-1 (standard) / RCN-4 (twin)
RAL-2 Heavy Series Clamps with SWP (H3-H5)
RAL-3 Heavy Series Clamps with SWP (H6)
RAL-4 Heavy Series Clamps with RCN
Strut Mounting [UCN]
Behringer clamps can also be supplied with strut
nuts [UCN] for mounting to standard strut channel.
The new spring-loaded nuts are adaptable to any
strut channel that is 1-5/8” wide. The depth of the
channel is not important as the UCN clips attach with
spring loaded tension on the top of the channel. Strut
adaptation is available for all series of pipe clamps.
Multiple Clamp Weld Plates [DOW, GRW]
For multiple lines, Behringer offers double weld plates
or group weld plates. The double weld plates create a
double clamp that allows the convenience of welding
only one plate, but the strength and durability of using
standard series hardware with individual clamp halves
and four hex bolts. Group weld plates can accommodate
between 3-10 positions, depending on the application.
This is beneficial for keeping a tightly regimented center
distance on the piping or tubing where multiple lines are
run along the same plane. For both the double and group
weld plates, all clamps to be fitted to the same plate must
be within the same hardware group size.
Stacking kits consist of a set of clamp halves,
stacking bolts, and a safety plate. A stacking kit is
everything that is needed to take an existing clamp
and make it one level taller. You use the hardware
from the existing clamp; remove the cover plate,
clamp halves, and hex bolts from the existing clamp,
insert the stacking kit onto the bottom fixture (weld
plate, rail nuts, etc...), and then replace the existing
clamp hardware on top. Multiple stacking kits can be
added to increase the number of clamps stacked on
top of each other. Stacking kits are available in all
series.

low pressure lines. They easily mount to standard strut channels that
are available in many industrial and mobile applications. The standard
hardware material is zinc plated steel. Also available are 304SS and
316SS. The cushion is manufactured from a thermoplastic elastomer
material that is designed to reduce vibration and noise, while
providing constant reliability in operating temperatures to 275º F.
Saddle Series Pipe Clamps
Range: 0.84 in. (21 mm) through 30
The Saddle Series pipe clamps consist of a heavy duty plastic saddle,
and a U-bolt with 4 hex nuts. The saddle series allows for movement due
to vibrations and thermal expansion and contraction. The plastic saddle
eliminates the metal-to-metal contact of the piping from the support
structure, preventing costly damage to pipe installations. Behringer’s
Saddle Series clamps are typically used in shipbuilding, offshore and
marine vessels, chemical plants, or where ever large diameter, low
pressure piping is installed. Behringer’s saddle clamps are available in 2
different designs; Long Saddle and Short Saddle. The Long Saddle
(shown above) extends past the u-bolt legs and has holes for the legs to
be inserted into. The Short Saddle does not extend to the u-bolts and sits
on the support structure or is held in place with location nipples.
Custom Pipe Clamps
Range: Any
Pressure: Any
Material: Any
Clamp Insert: Any
Customization is an easy task for Behringer’s vast experience in
custom metal fabrication and injection molding. If you have ideas
about a custom-made product, we can easily and quickly take concepts
and turn them into prototypes and ultimately production items.
Behringer currently manufactures custom products for major OEM
manufacturers in the mobile, offshore, industrial and construction
markets. Some custom items are a variation of a standard item and
others are completely different from our cataloged items. Let
Behringer work for you to help resolve any of your fastening or
clamping requirements.
Behringer’s clamp pairs are available in different materials and incorporate a modular insert
by group size. Standard series pipe clamps are available in sizes from ¼ in. (6.35mm)
Dimensions for the clamp pairs can be found at the right and in the chart below.
As a general rule of thumb, the outside diameter of the line to be secured
should not vary over or under the ØD dimension in the chart by more than ½
of the tension clearance dimension, or no more than 0.015 in. If an acceptable
size is not available, custom sizes can be made to order.
The typical mounting configuration is one where the clamp is welded
to the support structure. Weld plates can also be used in the RAL-1
mounting rail as an alternative to using the RCN-1 rail nuts.

Behringer now offers a complete line of cushioned clamps.
Cushioned clamps are typically used in pneumatic
refrigeration, HVAC, and some low pressure hydraulic lines.
Berhinger’s cushioned clamps also eliminate metal to metal
contact between the fluid lines and the support hardware.
Standard material for the hardware is a clear trivalent zinc
plated steel with options for both 304 and 316 grades
stainless steel. Additional special options include aluminum
and powder coating.
To order, use the ordering code above. Fill in the order
number from the light blue shaded boxes in the chart to
the right. Then add the material designation from the
Hardware Materials chart above.
Ex. For 1 in. Pipe with zinc plated hardware the order
number is CC1315-Z.

Recommended Mounting Practices
Bends
Behringer recommends that all pipe bends be
supported by clamps placed as close to the bend as
possible. The clamps should be directly after the
connection (coupler, threaded connector, flange, or
other).
Behringer recommends that all system components
be supported by a clamp directly before and after
the component in order to protect against vibrations
and shock. Clamps should be located as close to
the component as possible.
