Tig Welding a waterwall tube.

Over 50% of the root pass can be welded without removing the tube clamp. Without having to tack weld the tube first, one side of the tube can be welded with only one tie in. This will greatly reduce the chances of a rejected radiograph for incomplete or excessive penetration.

"B" Model with 2-1/2" tube

Jacking screws on all clamps help to align tubes when there are differences in the outside diameter, such as worn, pitted or overlayed and pad welded areas.
