U Clam

C-clamps In RO systems, are temporary solutions used for various purposes, unlike the permanent installation of X-clamps for securing filter housings. Here are the full details related to this product are mentioned below:

Function of C Clamp in RO

• C-clamps have a basic design with a screw mechanism tightening the jaws to grip objects.
• In RO systems, their applications are mainly temporary:
• Holding pre-filters or post-filters during installation or maintenance.
• Clamping tubing to a support bracket for temporary routing.
• Securing other components during repairs or modifications.

Limitations of C Clamp in RO

• Not best for Permanent Use: C-clamps are not created for the constant pressure and potential vibrations present in RO systems. They can loosen or leak over time, compromising system integrity.
• Potential Pressure Leakage: Tightening them too much can damage tubing or components, while improper pressure might lead to leaks.
• Size Compatibility: They can not always fit the specific diameter of RO components compared to dedicated clamps.

Alternatives of C Clamp in RO

• X-clamps:  As described, these are specifically designed to make safe RO filter housings with a constant  leak-proof connection.
• Compression fittings: These give safe connections for tubing in RO systems with easy installation and no special tools needed.
• Threaded fittings: It is used in high-pressure RO systems, they give even stronger connections compared to compression fittings.
