Description
The Mishimoto MMCLAMP-VS-3 is a stainless steel V-band clamp built for 3-inch (76.2mm) pipe connections, designed specifically for fabricators building custom intake, intercooler, charge pipe, and exhaust systems. This kit pairs a polished stainless V-band clamp with matching male/female flanges and a reusable fabrication nut, letting you mock up, tack-weld, and finalize pipe runs without wrestling with disposable hardware.
As part of Mishimoto’s Fabrication lineup, this V-band clamp delivers a rigid, secure, and leak-free connection between mating 3-inch pipe sections. The counterbored flanges keep pipes properly aligned for clean welding, while the interlocking design forms a gasket-free seal that resists loosening once the clamp is finally assembled with the included self-locking nut. Because the clamp features a quick-release V-band design, it’s equally useful for components that require frequent disassembly, such as turbochargers or charge piping, and the stainless-steel construction is built to resist rust and corrosion in even the harshest engine bay environments.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto V-band clamp is a universal-fit fabrication component rather than a vehicle-specific part. It’s built to join any 3-inch (76.2mm) diameter pipe sections, making it suitable for custom intake, intercooler, charge pipe, exhaust, and turbocharger fabrication projects across a wide range of vehicles and builds.
