They have been the most common type of joins due to their durable and robust characteristics which means they rarely crack or break. However, they do have certain disadvantages and are increasingly being replaced by V-band \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-v-band-clamp-kits-clamps\"\u003eexhaust clamps\u003c\/a\u003e that are much better. \u003ca id=\"show-more\" href=\"#read-more\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"read-more\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite their durability, flanges tend to leak over time. This is because they require a gasket and possibly glue to achieve the required seal, and these can deteriorate due to simple wear and tear. When this happens, it is necessary to remove the flange and replace the gasket, which is not a simple task.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flange is held in place by several nuts, bolts and washers, which may be difficult to remove since it's often necessary to use both hands in a confined space. Once you've got them out and removed the flange, you have to clean it thoroughly to remove dirt that may prevent a proper seal and cause a leak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou also need to ensure the nuts and bolts are in a good condition before re-using them, have to fit a new gasket to seal between the flanges and may have to apply glue, which can be messy. Re-fitting the flange may not be simple, with the need to properly re-tighten bolts in a limited space where working is difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSuperior Fitting with Our 3 1\/2 Inch Exhaust Clamp\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough V-band clamps have been around for many years, their high price has previously prevented common usage except on very high-end and performance vehicles. Now, however, the price is much more competitive and the benefits they offer make them a very attractive proposition. Which is why as an \u003ca href=\"\/\"\u003eauto exhaust supplier\u003c\/a\u003e, we at \u003ca href=\"\/\"\u003eBend Brothers\u003c\/a\u003e have actively sourced and stocked up on \u003cstrong\u003e3 1\/2 inch exhaust clamps\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA V-band exhaust clamp features two precision machined flanges that are welded to each end of the pipe. One flange is designed to fit comfortably into the other one to form an overlap and they are then clamped tightly together by a band that covers the join and is secured and tightened by a single nut. The band can be positioned so the nut is easy to access and tighten, making it a much easier task to clamp it than for a flange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eV-bands are much more compact than flanges and so are more convenient for areas that are tight for space. Gaskets and glue aren't needed so the clamps can be easily removed and re-installed many times over without damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing made from high grade stainless steel, our \u003cstrong\u003e3.5 inch exhaust band clamps\u003c\/strong\u003e are not only resistant to corrosion but will always look great on high-end cars where appearance is a priority. But they're also extremely effective, especially since steel expands when hot and so makes the seal even tighter. And, since they're produced locally, they are suitable for the Australian market, unlike some imported products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe falling price of V-band clamps coupled with their great appearance, ease of use and extreme effectiveness means they're the only real choice to attach to your exhaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGet Your Exhaust Band Clamp today Regardless of Size!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps \u003cstrong\u003e3 1\/2 inch exhaust clamps\u003c\/strong\u003e aren't the best fir for you because it is too big.
