Project Nissan 240SX KA24DE Part 2 - Tech Knowledge

Each Wiggins clamp set consists of a ferrule welded on each respective pipe, a hard o-ring sleeve, o-rings, and the clam shell clamp. This means that these clamps are designed to handle pressure four times the amount that we plan to run. Naoto says mistakes are often made with Wiggins clamps when choosing o-rings. The target range of temperature should dictate the hardness of the o-ring chosen. Since our purpose is to seal compressed air, the temperature range is relatively low and a softer o-ring can be used, making assembly easy. The downside? The cost of Wiggins clamps compared to standard silicone hose-and-clamp set-ups keeps it out of budget for the average consumer. View Related Article
