B.S. 951 Bonding Clamp.

Zoomup
Good morning,

                           I have often wondered at just what is the purpose of the locking nut on the main fixing screw on a B.S. 951 bonding clamp. On static non vibrating pipes I can hardly imagine the screw becoming loose. So, is the locking nut superfluous? Or is it perhaps to allow correct orientation of the razor blade sharp warning label?

    I can't see that pipe expansion or contraction will create any rotational force on the main fixing screw so the locking nut is pointless. On fixing the clamp, the band will crush the pipe slightly thus creating a tight permanent grip for the bonding clamp.
