Product Information
Full details
This DEHN Rain Pipe clamp (model 540104) is designed for electricians and lightning protection specialists who need to integrate pipes into protective and functional equipotential bonding. Its key benefit is ensuring compliance with electrical safety standards for both general installations and lightning protection systems. A potential consideration is the specific clamping range it supports, requiring verification against pipe diameters.

FAQs
What standards does this pipe clamp comply with?
It complies with EN 62561-1 for lightning protection components and supports integration into protective and functional equipotential bonding according to IEC 60364 standards, as well as lightning equipotential bonding according to IEC/EN 62305-3.
What is the clamping range of this pipe clamp?
The clamping or chucking range is from 27mm to 89mm in diameter.
What types and sizes of conductors can be connected?
It can connect one conductor with a 10mm diameter, or one to two conductors with diameters of 6-8mm, or conductors ranging from 4 to 50 mm² (solid or stranded).
What material is the pipe clamp made of?
The pipe clamp is made of V2A stainless steel.
Is the connection secured against self-loosening?
Yes, the clamp is designed to be secured against self-loosening.
Can this clamp be used for both general earthing and lightning protection?
Yes, it is designed for integrating pipes into both protective/functional equipotential bonding (general installations) and lightning equipotential bonding systems.
Troubleshooting
Clamp does not fit pipe securely.
Verify the pipe diameter is within the 27-89mm range. Ensure the stainless steel tensioning strap is fully tightened.
Conductor connection is loose.
Check if the conductor size is compatible with the clamp's specifications (10mm, 6-8mm, or 4-50 mm²). Ensure the conductor is properly seated before tightening the strap.
Signs of corrosion on the clamp.
While V2A stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or environments can cause surface discoloration. Inspect for structural integrity; if compromised, replace the clamp. Clean gently with a damp cloth if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures effective equipotential bonding for enhanced electrical safety.
- Facilitates compliance with international electrical and lightning protection standards.
- Robust stainless steel construction for longevity and corrosion resistance.
- Flexible conductor connection options to suit various installation needs.
- Secure mounting mechanism prevents accidental loosening.
Cons
- Specific clamping range (27-89mm) may not suit all pipe sizes.
- Requires proper installation to achieve secure and compliant bonding.
- Primarily designed for pipe integration, not direct grounding rod connection.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the pipe to be connected (diameter between 27mm and 89mm).
- Select the appropriate conductor(s) to be connected (within the specified diameters or cross-sectional area).
- Loosen the tensioning strap and position the clamp around the pipe.
- Insert the conductor(s) into the designated connection point(s).
- Tighten the stainless steel tensioning strap until the clamp is securely fastened around the pipe and conductors.
- Ensure all connections are firm and comply with relevant installation standards.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with pipes ranging from 27mm to 89mm in diameter.
- Supports connection of one conductor (10mm diameter) or 1-2 conductors (6-8mm diameter), or conductors from 4-50 mm² (solid or stranded).
- Designed for integration into protective equipotential bonding (IEC 60364) and lightning equipotential bonding (IEC/EN 62305-3) systems.
Care:
- The V2A stainless steel construction is inherently resistant to corrosion.
- Periodic visual inspection to ensure the clamp remains secure and free from damage is recommended.
- No specific lubrication or cleaning agents are typically required under normal operating conditions.
