  • Page 5 PROCEDURES Step 1: Configuring the MTD MultiClamp Before setting up the MTD MultiClamp, determine what type of fitting you will be clamping, and configure the clamping assemblies accordingly. Note: Multi-Angle Connector is not required for some couplings. One of the clamping assemblies may be used as a bar-style clamp with two V-Clamps.
  • Page 6 Step 2: Installing Sliding V-Clamp Base In order to install the V-Clamps on the MTD MultiClamp assembly, first install the sliding V-Clamp bases. There are four bases provided, one for each V-Clamp. To install a V-Clamp base, place the bottom half of the base beneath the assembly and push up through the slot, as pictured below.
  • Page 7 Step 3: Installing and Adjusting V-Clamps Before placing fitting assembly into clamping assembly, determine the distance you will require for the V-Clamps to sit under the pipe and adjust the position of the bases accordingly. Note: Some fittings will require removal of one of the two V-Clamps from each sliding base.
  • Page 8 Adjusting V-Clamps according to fitting After adjusting the V-Clamps to desired positions, securely tighten them to the sliding V-Clamp base using the included hex tool so that there is no movement of the V-Clamp on the sliding base. Assembled Multi-Clamp...
  • Page 9 Note: Some fittings may require support blocks. If this is necessary, wooden blocks may be used as support blocks. Step 5: Secure fitting assembly to MTD MultiClamp After fitting assembly is properly situated in Multi-Clamp, install nylon straps on V-Clamps by passing one end of strap through ratchet mechanism slot and hooking the other end around the desired rung on the opposite side of the V-Clamp.
  • Page 10 After installing straps, tighten ratchet mechanisms on each V-Clamp to secure pipe and fitting to the clamp. Placing hook end around rung on V-Brace Step 6: Fuse fitting assembly After tightening all straps, ensure that the fitting assembly cannot move in the clamp.
  • Page 11 If fusing a three-way tee, put Multi-Clamp in straightened position first and fuse the two ends as pictured below. Once the two ends have been fused, unstrap the pipe, remove it from the Multi-Clamp, and change the clamp to the 90° position. Reinstall the pipe on the Multi-Clamp, along with the coupling and third piece of pipe to be fused.
