A steel band loop clamp is disclosed having a first end with a raised abutment and tangentially extending end portion, and a second end adapted for engagement against the raised abutment to hold the clamp in a prestressed open position. A closed circumferential slot terminates partially along the raised abutment and extends partially around the steel band loop, for accepting into engagement therewith the second end of the closed band loop when the clamp is engaged into a closure position. |
