In Reply To	Jeebus. Well done. What is the advantage of the v-band? posted by Guapo on July 28, 2006 at 08:41 AM
Message	360 degrees, and its just one nut to take it on and off. vbands dont require gaskets either. There are also quick release vband clamps that allow you to loosen the nut, then manually un pop the flange via release tab. really quite nice. AIM: turb0dem0n
