The Nose rests on the flange, gripping it firmly as
the bolt is tightened. Types D1, D2 and D3 can be used on parallel
or sloping flanges, up to 4° slope. The Type LR is suitable
for use on tapered flanges above 4°.
The Skirt touches the edge of the flange to ensure
that the nose is correctly positioned. This also stops the Lindapter
turning as the bolt is tightened. (Not applicable on Type LR)
The Tail must be supported by a location plate or similar,
in order to form a reaction point which creates the clamping
force in the nose. By using a combination of the available tail-length
range, and Long Packings, most flange thicknesses can be accommodated.
Note: It is important that when the LR is assembled
on the bolt it is fitted correctly. The nose of the clip must
sit on the flange of the section being secured. Also, the straight
and not the tapered leg of the saddle should be in contact with
the edge of the flange.
See tail-length / packing combinations.
