A clamp (24) suitable for joining a pair of tubular members such as truck exhaust pipes (200, 202) including a metal band (26) having a reinforcing bar (28) at each end (36, 38) wrapped more than one turn, each wrapped reinforced end forming at least one hole (40, 40') for receiving, threading, and securing a set of bolts and nuts (82, 84). The band (26) is preferably formed from an aluminized steel, and the reinforcing bars (28) may be non-plated. Embodiments using only the wrapped ends without reinforcing bars, folded rims, beading, and bolt-securing plates are also disclosed. |
