## Overview

The BESSEY PC12-2 is a traditional style pipe clamp featuring a large 2.5-inch clamping surface and a tall, wide base for enhanced stability. Crafted from durable cast iron alloy steel with a powder-coated finish, it includes a precision ACME threaded spindle and soft protective pads to safeguard your projects. Designed for use with standard 1/2" black pipe (pipe not included), this hand-operated clamp offers versatile, modular clamping capacity ideal for woodworking and general construction tasks.

## Description

The pipe clamp is what many people think when they think clamps for woodworking. They are exceptionally affordable - you are buying a set of clamp fixings (head and tail piece), then attach them to a length of black iron pipe. Clamp fixings are available for 1/2" and 3/4" black pipes. What to note is that the pipe is measured by its inner diameter (size of the hole) and not the external dimensions. Clamp fixings for black pipes provide versatility as clamping capacity is limited only by the length of the selected tube. It takes very little time to move the clamping devices from one pipe to another. With ACME threaded spindle and multiple clutch discs. They are easy to assemble and incredibly durable. Bessey just better.

Review: I love this new clamp. I have several Bessey clamps that were used on a project this week and this clamp supplements my H style Bessey Clamps.
Review: I ordered a pair. One threaded perfectly onto 1/2" pipe. The other would not. The threads are not cut correctly. I returned for a replacement and the replacement is also defective - would not thread onto standard 1/2" pipe (pipe was purchased pre-threaded - I did not cut the pipe threads - further, the first clamp threads on no problem).. It is going back. Sad that Bessey quality has dropped - no control on defects. What good is a 1/2' pipe clamp that will not thread onto 1/2" pipe? UPDATE: Contacted Bessey and they investigated the issues at the factory, fixed the problem and sent me a new replacement set directly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use rigid conduit or black iron pipe? I assume it is just standard pipe thread.**
A: Black iron is arguably the best. Galvanized iron pipe is prone to slipping because the zinc is soft enough to act as a bit of a lubricant between the edge bite of the dogs on the sliding part and the iron of the actual pipe. When you find yourself fighting slippage when clamping down, that’s pretty much what’s going on.

**Q: Anyone tried using these on top of a panel (upside down)? Seems like the feet might make it difficult, no?**
A: Yes, it would be difficult. I place my clamps spaced far enough apart for the panel I'm making. I then place a piece of scrap stock across the two clamps that act as rests so the work doesn't doesn't sit against the black pipe. Place the work on the scrap piece and slightly tighten the clamps, then tap down the work onto the scrap and into the clamp. Makes for a nice fit.

**Q: Is there a pipe included? buy a longer pipe and increase the opening size of the clamp?Need 14" clamp Thanks 1st time buyer**
A: you must buy your own length of pipe depending on what you want for size. I found something interesting when I did buy some 24" 1/2" dia. pipe, at Depot I saw a display in another dept other than plumbing that had some pipes w/ nice coating that was silver and smooth for another purpose, I compared that price w/ plumbing and it was cheeper and nicer, wish I could remember the display, or dept?

**Q: Someone compared the strength of this clamp using black iron pipe (e.g. 24") compared with a 24" Medium-Duty Bessey clamps? which is better?**
A: I've never used the Bessey clamps, but in my experience,the combination of this clamp set, in conjunction with black pipe, has been sturdy enough for every shop task I've attempted with them.  one advantage I've found is that with common pipe nipples and connectors the clamp set can be shortened or extended from just a few inches to 8 (or more) feet and provide sufficient clamping pressure for all of my shop glue-ups
