A clamp for joining two sections of pipe, the ends of which to be joined have radially extending flanges projecting outwardly, comprises a clamping ring with two adjacent end sections and an inverted V-shaped cross-section. There are two bearing elements, each of which is affixed to a respective one of the end sections and extends radially outwardly. The clamp includes an elongate threaded rod member having a slotted plate rigidly affixed to one end thereof. One of the bearing elements extends through the slotted plate to secure one end of the rod member to the ring. The rod member extends through the other bearing element and is secured therein by an elongate nut member and adjacent washer. Preferably, the slotted plate has two parallel slots and each bearing element is an inverted U-shaped connector.
