A pipe repair clamp assembly employing a flexible, metal band to be strapped and tightened about a pipe or other conduit for closing a leak in its side wall by compressing a resilient gasket seal encircling the pipe. The repair clamp includes an improved pair of lugs secured to adjacent ends of the band wherein the lugs each extend longitudinally of the pipe being sealed. Radially outwardly extending lug extension portions are formed on one of the lugs and an opening is formed in each. Radially outwardly protruding pairs of spaced retainer ears are carried by the other lug to define a radially open slot between each pair of ears. Bolts having a transverse cross-head extend both through the openings and an associated one of the slots so that the cross-head will lie radially between the ears and the conduit. Elongated fingers, spaced longitudinally of the lugs, project from one lug toward the other and serve to resist rotation of the ears noted above upon tightening of the bolts.
