What does a flexible pipe clamp do?

This flexible pipe clamp is a critical component within the exhaust system of heavy commercial vehicles, ensuring secure connections under high thermal stress. Manufactured with high-strength components, it is designed to maintain a tight seal despite the constant vibrations and temperature fluctuations typical of heavy-duty operation.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This part is specifically engineered for use in Volvo models such as FH, FM, FMX, FL, and VNL series, as well as Renault Trucks models including Kerax, Magnum, and Premium. It is also compatible with Mack Granite and Pinnacle trucks equipped with MP7 or MP8 engines. This component supports various engine configurations including D13, D12, and DXi series to ensure reliable performance.

Installation and maintenance

When performing maintenance, technicians should verify the outside diameter using calipers to ensure the Ø 164 mm dimension matches the existing pipe perfectly. Proper installation requires following the specific clamping torque requirements to prevent leaks or crushing of the flexible section. Regular visual inspections during scheduled service are recommended to detect any signs of wear.
