Features and Benefits
Profusion V Band kits are a popular alternative to traditional bolt flanges and slip joints. They provide a secure connection without the need for gaskets and perform exceptionally well in demanding conditions. All V Band flanges are designed for the exhaust pipe to slip inside the flange and be welded in place. Please ensure the correct size is selected before purchase.
Installation Guidance
Hand tighten only
Do not use impact guns or power tools. Tighten using a spanner or socket only. Power tools can damage threads and distort the clamp.
Do not overtighten
Once the flanges are seated correctly, only light tension is required. Heat expansion during use will further secure the seal. Overtightening can damage the clamp or threads.
Ensure correct alignment
Both flanges must be fully seated and evenly aligned before tightening. Incorrect alignment can lead to leaks or uneven loading.
Avoid cross threading
Always start the nut by hand to prevent thread damage, particularly in tight or awkward installations.
Use anti seize compound
A small amount of anti seize on the clamp threads is recommended to prevent galling and to ease future removal after heat cycles.
Check after initial heat cycle
After the first full heat cycle, recheck the clamp to ensure it remains snug. Do not retighten excessively.
Do not force the clamp closed
If the clamp does not close easily, recheck flange alignment. Forcing the clamp can cause distortion and reduce service life.
Profusion Exhausts supply high quality 304 grade stainless steel quick release V Band clamps, designed to provide a strong, leak free connection anywhere within an exhaust system, from the turbocharger to the rear section. These clamps are suitable for high temperature and high stress applications and are commonly used in performance and motorsport exhaust systems.
Each clamp features a precision male and female flange recess, allowing the exhaust sections to self align correctly during installation. This ensures an even sealing surface, reduces the risk of exhaust leaks, and improves long term reliability. Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, these clamps offer excellent resistance to heat, pressure, and corrosion.
The quick release design allows for easy installation and removal, making them ideal for maintenance, mock up work, and future exhaust modifications.
Specification
This V Band clamp is supplied with a regular non locking nut as standard. Locking nuts are available separately via a different listing if required.
