Sioux Chief 5551 3/8" Tube Talon Nail-In Pipe Clamp

Sioux Chief 5551 3/8" Tube Talon Nail-In Pipe Clamp

The Sioux Chief 5551 is a 3/8" tube Talon, a nail-in piping clamp used to secure tube runs to wood framing members during rough-in. The integrated nail lets a plumber set the clamp and fasten it to a stud or joist in a single motion, eliminating separate straps, screws, or standalone nail plates. Sioux Chief specifies installing the Talon in alternating directions along a run, which keeps tubing seated against framing and reduces movement, sag, and noise from thermal expansion once the line is pressurized. Sized for 3/8" tube, this clamp is built for the small-diameter PEX and copper branch lines common in supply and ice-maker runs behind walls and under floors.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 3/8" tube size, sized to grip and support 3/8" PEX or copper tubing.
• Nail-In Design: Integrated nail lets the clamp be set and fastened to framing in one step, speeding up rough-in labor.
• Alternating-Direction Install: Intended to be installed in alternating directions along a tube run to secure piping and control lateral movement.
• High-Volume Packaging: Packed 1000 EA per carton for production framing crews and new-construction rough-in jobs that need a large quantity of talons on hand.
• Low-Profile Clamp Body: Compact talon profile keeps the clamp close to the framing member, helping tubing run cleanly behind drywall without excess standoff.
