1.1.2 Pneumatic Safety Clamp

The pneumatic Safety Clamp is handled as a normal
Safety Clamp around the pipe. The pneumatic kit replaces
manual tightening through a wrench and sledgehammer
and consists of the Safety Clamp C-Type and the respective
pneumatic kit. The pneumatic kit (P/N 99630) is used
to turn the tightening/loosening bolt automatically. The
pneumatic kit (P/N 99650) uses a mounted thread bolt
to tighten the Safety Clamp while the Pneumatic kit (P/N
99620) uses a pneumatic wrench.

NOTE To order a complete Safety Clamp C-Type with a

pneumatic kit, please add – 1 to the part number
(i.e. 99500-1 for a 3.3/4" – 4.5/8" Type C Pneumatic
Safety Clamp). The pneumatic kit is only available for
Safety Clamps with part numbers beginning with 995.

The Safety Clamp is completely pre-assembled before

shipment, so that they can be installed immediately after
unpacking at the installation site. The Safety Clamp size
components have to be installed according to pipe string
operation at customer site. The Safety Clamp type A-MP, T
and C must always be used with Hand Slips.

1. Always use all attachment points.

2. Only use approved hoisting equipment.

WARNING Danger of contusion because of folding

Safety Clamp segments! Ensure that anyone got their
hands only on green marked handles.

7.2 Disposal
When used properly the Safety Clamp does not pose any
hazard for users or the environment.
However, operation of the Safety Clamp requires use
of lubricants and cleaning agents, which can pollute
the environment. For this reason always ensure that
such substances are disposed of properly according to
international, national and local regulations.
Never dispose oils, greases, oily cleaning rags or oily water
together with industrial or domestic wastes.
Observe the safety data sheets published by the
manufacturers on environmental hazards and disposal of
the service and operating products used.
Ensure that all service and operating products as well as
replacement parts are disposed of safely and ecologically.
Please note specifically that FORUM Handling Tools is not
obligated to take back used equipment.
