A clamp for a sanitary fitting includes a first and a second semicircular
part that are circumscribed by a flexible cable tie. Each semicircular
part has a concave side and a convex side. A channel is formed in each
concave and each convex side. The concave channels accommodate a flange
of a sanitary fitting when the first and second semicircular parts are
disposed in confronting relation to one another. The cable tie positioned
in the convex channels circumscribes the confronting semicircular parts.
A cable tie catch slidingly receives a free end of the cable tie when the
cable tie circumscribes the first and second semicircular parts. A marker
on the cable tie registers with the catch or another marker on the cable
tie when the cable tie is under a predetermined amount of tension to
ensure that the same amount of tension is consistently applied to the
cable tie.
