Too tight and the weld won't penetrate; too wide and you're filling a trench. These small clamps hold both edges flush to each other and set a fixed 0.040 in gap — the gap butt welding actually wants — so you lay less weld and grind a great deal less afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSets a consistent 0.040 in gap for proper butt weld penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAligns edge to edge and surface to surface, so the joint doesn't step\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight clamps per set — enough to run a full patch panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction with a longer threaded area on the revised design, easier to fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal — patch panels, floor pans, quarters and rust repair.
