Dumb Question about band clamps
Never really ran into this before....I did a search and came up empty.
When you order stainless band clamps like from Jegs...which is the measured side the larger or the smaller side. Jeg's gives one size per clamp, ie: 2 1/4", 2 1/2", 3", etc. Is that the larger side of the clamp?

Are you sure about that? The small end is the OD of the normal pipe, the big end is slightly larger to account for the pipe being expanded to fit over the other pipe (as in a slip-fit connection). When you make a slip-fit connection, you don't reduce one end, you expand it.
So basically, buy the size listed, for the size of your piping. I had dual 3" piping (slip fit) and I bought 2 3" band clamps just like the ones you listed, and they fit perfectly.
