摘要

A clamp attachable to a vehicle for remotely stopping gas leaks in a gas line is provided. The clamp includes a first boom having a first end, a second end and a pipe engaging portion adjacent the second end. The first boom is provided with a mounting portion adjacent the first end operable to couple the clamp to a mounting structure for manipulating the clamp. The clamp also includes a second boom having a first end, a second end and a pipe engaging portion adjacent the second end. The first and second booms are coupled such that the pipe engaging portions of the first and second booms are positioned to cooperate about a leak portion of a pipe. The clamp has an actuator to selectively engage the first and second pipe engaging portions about the leak portion of the pipe.
