A T-bolt pipe clamp of the quick-attach type in which a head portion of the T-bolt can be inserted into or removed from one of the connecting ends of the clamp. The clamp has first and second loop ends that are drawn together during tightening by a T-bolt fastener. The first loop end has a latch insert that accepts the head portion of the T-bolt and provides additional strength to the loop end. The latch insert can include a tab to help guide the T-bolt into the loop end and thereafter prevent it from too easily disengaging the loop end.

A clamp assembly ( ) in accordance with the present invention includes a tightening mechanism ( ) connected to an elongated, flat metal band ( ). The metal band is configured to encircle a conduit. The tightening mechanism ( ) includes a saddle ( ) securely attached to the band ( ). A housing ( ) is pivotally and slidably connected to the saddle ( ). The housing ( ) defines a recess ( ) housing a locking worm ( ). The locking, worm ( ) is rotatable in the housing and defines spiral threads ( ) adapted to cooperate with slots ( ) defined in the band. The housing ( ) is pivotally and slidably connected to the saddle ( ) so that the housing is pivotable relative to the saddle and movable in an axial direction substantially parallel to the saddle to further engage and lock with the saddle in a closed position of the tightening mechanism.
