- Precision in Mounting Options
Through our design-first approach, we provide uniquely tailored mounting solutions. This encompasses versatile options such as weld and channel mount installations, meticulously crafted to align with the specific design requisites of each project. This ensures a seamless integration and optimal performance within the intended application.
- Enhanced Functionality

Customization Options for Stock Clamps
Every Vermatic clamp is available in a range of sizes and styles. Our high-quality clamp assemblies serve diverse mobile and stationary industrial applications across industries. From standard to custom clamps, multiple lines, unique size configurations or special materials – there is no engineering challenge that we can’t handle. Vermatic clamps can be manufactured to different specifications, making it customizable to the following options:
Standard Clamps Customization
Mount Style
The mount style refers to how the clamp is attached to mobile or stationary equipment.. Weld mount clamps are permanently welded onto a framework or structure. Channel mount clamps are fitted onto channel railings, allowing flexible and adjustable positioning. This mounting style is well-suited for applications that require spacing out numerous sets of parallel lines.
Number of Lines
Customers can customize their clamp to have as many holes and hole sizes as they need. Common examples include 4-line and 6-line runs, shown below.
Tube, Pipe, or Hosing Size
Customers select the proper cushion insert size for end-use with pipes, tubes, or hoses. For example, hose applications, represented by ending with an ‘H’, have rounded cushion edges to prevent puncturing or wear to the hose. Pipe sizes are represented by ending with a ‘P’. The spec sheet below details pipe size, tube OD, and hose OD, which determine the proper cushion size for your clamps.
Cushion Size
Cushion sizes are customizable to the end use of your clamp. All our cushions are polypropylene, with durable and smooth surfaces that eliminate the risk of wear, puncturing, and moisture damage.
Depending on the configuration, we offer single and double cushion inserts to support your assembly. Single cushions support a single tube, hose, or pipe at a time, and double cushions support two lines. Made of polypropylene, our cushions provide stable, reliable performance even in harsh operating conditions. We also offer stacked mounts if you require multiple lines at different heights. Low profile cushion inserts are also available. These cushions allow for several smaller lines to run together using less space when height restrictions are a concern.
Posts
The posts on our clamps feature a unique nesting design that makes the assembly stronger, more durable, and more uniform. They are located on the outside of the cushion insert and installed into a threaded base plate to offer premium strength. These posts also allow for easy installation of the clamp assembly. They hold the cushion insert in place while you lay the run of hoses for installation.
