A clamp for joining a pair of elements having generally circular flanges, the clamp including an inner flange engaging portion arranged to provide generally axially extending forces to said flanges for retaining them against one another when substantially radial forces are applied to the inner flange, an outer circumferential strap element and at least one bolt. The clamp also includes a coupler engaging the strap element adapted to provide substantially circumferential tension thereto, whereby substantially radial forces are applied to the inner flange without urging non-circumferential bending of the strap element. 11 |
