FAQs

What is the maximum profile width this clamp can accommodate?

This clamp is designed for profiles with widths of 40mm, 50mm, or 50.8mm.

Can this clamp be used for internal corners?

The RHINOBUILD External Clamp is specifically designed for use on external corners to ensure precise alignment.

What does the '440mm' refer to in the product name?

The 440mm refers to the clamp length, which is suitable for holding profiles when laying one block or two bricks wide.

What material is the clamp made from?

The clamp is made from zinc-plated steel for superior corrosion resistance and durability.

How do I tighten the clamp onto the profile?

The clamp features a RHINOGRIP thumbscrew that allows you to securely fix it to the profile by hand.

Is this product suitable for professional bricklayers?

Yes, it is designed and manufactured in Britain using high-quality materials, intended for professional use and durability on construction sites.

Troubleshooting

Clamp not gripping the profile securely

Ensure the profile width matches the clamp's compatibility (40mm, 50mm, or 50.8mm). Tighten the RHINOGRIP thumbscrew as firmly as possible. Check the clamp jaws for any debris that might be preventing a full grip.

Difficulty sliding the clamp onto the profile

Check for any dirt, mud, or damage on the profile or inside the clamp jaws. Clean both surfaces thoroughly. Ensure you are using the correct size profile for the clamp.

Rust spots appearing on the clamp

While zinc plating provides excellent corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause surface rust. Clean the rust with a wire brush and a light oil. Store the clamp in a dry environment when not in use.
