TM 10-5430-232-12&P (b.)    The  size  of  the  damaged  area  (opening)  needing  repair  will  govern  the  size  of  the  clamp needed.  Select the size as follows: 1  For holes (tears) less than 2 inches (5.08 cm) in length, use the 3-inch (7.6 cm) clamp. 2  For holes (tears) 2 to 4 inches (5.08 to 10.16 cm) in length, use the 5-inch (12.7 cm) clamp. 3    For  holes  (tears)  4  to  6  inches  (10.1  6  to  15.24  cm)  in  length,  use  the  7  1/2-  inch  (19  cm) clamp. 4  It may be necessary to increase the size of the tears in order to be able to insert the bottom plate of the clamp. CAUTION Use extreme care when enlarging a tear.  Tension in the fabric may cause the fabric to rip further.  Ideally, tank height should not be greater than two feet (0.61 meters) when you make this repair. (c.)  Loop cord around wrist (1) to prevent loss of clamp into tank. (d.)  Slip the bottom plate of the clamp (2) through the hole or tear and rotate it until it is centered and its length runs with he tear. (e.)  Pull bottom plate up against fabric, and slide top plate and wingnut (3) down cord and onto threaded stud (4) of bottom plate. (f.)    With  plates  aligned,  tighten  wingnut  (5)  to  clamp  the  tank  wall  between  the  two  plates. Tighten  enough  to  stop  leak.    Do  not  overtighten,  as  stud  threads  may  be  stripped,  or damage to tank fabric may occur. 2-16
