Clamp length: 175mm. Bar thread length: 80mm - with RHINOGRIP thumbscrew to allow clamp to be securely fixed to profile. Material: Zinc plated steel for superior corrosion resistance. Designed and manufactured in Britain using only the highest quality materials, our range of bricklaying tools are made to last.
This RHINOBUILD Internal Clamp is designed for bricklayers who need a secure and reliable method for clamping internal corners with T-bar perp joints. Its key benefit is providing a strong, corrosion-resistant hold for 40mm, 50mm, or 50.8mm profiles, ensuring precise alignment. A potential caveat is its specific application for internal corners, meaning it may not suit external or other joint types.

Troubleshooting
Clamp does not grip profiles securely
Ensure the correct profile size is being used and that the clamp is positioned correctly on the perp joint. Tighten the RHINOGRIP thumbscrew firmly.
Thumbscrew is stiff or difficult to turn
Check for any debris or mortar obstructing the thread. Clean the thread with a brush and apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary. Ensure the clamp is not over-tightened.
Visible signs of rust
Although zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions may cause surface rust. Clean the affected area and consider applying a protective coating suitable for steel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify the internal corner where brick profiles need to be aligned.
Select the appropriate profile size (40mm, 50mm, or 50.8mm).
Slide the clamp onto the profiles, ensuring it engages with the T-bar perp joint.
Tighten the RHINOGRIP thumbscrew to securely fix the clamp to the profiles.
