Tube Clamp Assembly

A tube clamp assembly for aligning and clamping a pair of tube ends comprising:

• an elongate bar having a channel shaped to substantially conform to receive outer surfaces of adjacent tube ends when the channel is aligned parallel to a longitudinal axis of the adjacent tube ends, the elongate bar further including a bore oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the adjacent tube ends;
• a clamping member having an elongate body oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the adjacent tube ends, the clamping member having a bore formed therethrough, the bore substantially aligned with the bore of the elongate bar;
• at least one cable attached to the clamping member and extending around a distal outer wall of the adjacent tube ends, the at least one cable secured to the clamping member at first and second ends of the cable, and wherein a middle portion of the cable is looped around one or more posts extending from the elongate body of the clamping member;
• an elongate threaded bolt extending from a first end through the bore of the clamping member and into the bore of the bar member.
