What is the V-BAT™ Pipe Clamp?

The V-BAT™ pipe clamp is a special clamp used to hold and secure different types of pipes. It’s made to be strong, durable, and easy to use, making it an excellent choice for anyone installing or maintaining a water well. Whether you are dealing with pipes, the V-BAT™ clamp ensures that your pipes stay in place, reducing the risk of leaks or damage.

Common Water Well Pipes and Clamps Used by Competitors

In a water well, several types of pipes are used, each with a specific purpose. Securing them properly is essential to ensure the well operates efficiently.

Electrical Conduit Pipes

Electrical conduit pipes protect the electrical wiring that powers the well pump and other equipment. These pipes are typically made of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or metal and are installed underground.

Fasteners Used: Metal clamps are used to secure them in place.

Disadvantages of Fasteners: Metal clamps are strong but do corrode if exposed to moisture. This corrosion can weaken the clamp and cause it to fail, leading to loose or damaged pipes.

Pressure Pipes

Pressure pipes are used to carry water under high pressure from the pump to the surface. These pipes are usually made from materials like PVC or steel to withstand high pressure.

Fasteners Used: Compression fittings help to secure the pipes.

Disadvantages of Fasteners: Compression Fittings wear out as the pipes are under constant pressure, leading to leaks or bursts.

Vent Pipes

Vent pipes allow air to enter the well, preventing a vacuum from forming as water is pumped out. These pipes are typically small in diameter and made of PVC or metal.

Fasteners Used: Vent pipes are often held in place using metal straps or brackets attached to nearby structures.

Disadvantages of Fasteners: Straps and brackets can become loose if exposed to environmental factors like wind or temperature changes causing the vent pipe to shift or detach.

Discharge Pipes

Discharge pipes carry water from the well to the storage tank or distribution system. These pipes must be strong enough to handle the water pressure and the volume being pumped.

Fasteners Used: Hose clamps

Disadvantages of Fasteners: Hose clamps can become loose and leak, as the discharge pipe is exposed to vibrations from the pump.

Riser Pipes (Pump Column Pipes)

Riser pipes, also known as pump column pipes, carry water from the pump to the surface. These pipes are usually made from steel or heavy-duty PVC and must be strong enough to support the weight of the water.

Fasteners Used: Threaded Couplings and Lock Nuts provide a secure and tight connection.

Disadvantages of Fasteners

Threaded Couplings can loosen, especially under the constant pressure and vibration of the pump.

Lock Nuts are difficult to tighten properly without specialized tools.
