A pipe clamp is a C-shaped clamp with jaws that attaches onto a pipe and locks with a bolt, used to mount lighting fixtures and equipment to pipes and structures.
A pipe clamp is a C-shaped clamp designed to grip a pipe and lock securely in place. As its bolt is tightened, the clamp bites onto the pipe, holding firmly, and it often includes a secondary bolt for attaching a fixture or accessory. This makes the pipe clamp a standard means of hanging lighting fixtures and equipment from overhead pipes and truss in production and venue settings.
By providing a secure, adjustable attachment to pipes, the clamp allows fixtures to be positioned and aimed where needed. Its robust grip supports the weight of lighting equipment while allowing repositioning when the bolt is loosened.
The fixtures mounted with pipe clamps depend on power and control wiring to function. While the clamp provides the mechanical attachment, the fixtures it holds rely on dependable cable to deliver the power and control that production lighting requires.
Because its robust grip supports the weight of lighting equipment while allowing repositioning when loosened, the pipe clamp is a standard means of hanging and aiming fixtures from overhead pipes and truss in production and venue settings throughout a rig.
This makes the pipe clamp a standard rigging tool, providing the secure, adjustable attachment that lets fixtures be positioned and aimed from overhead pipes and truss.
