[0036] The fixing nut 4 is made of copper and is inserted into the first body 1 through the first mounting hole 101. A hole is drilled and tapped in the middle of the nut to securely engage the stud 3. Since the first and second bodies 1 and 2 are connected at one end, the other end can be opened and closed. By tightening or loosening the stud 3 and fixing nut 4, the opening and closing range of the other ends of the first and second bodies 1 and 2 can be adjusted, allowing the fixing hole 5 to clamp a variety of compression fittings of different diameters.

[0037] Optionally, the semicircular diameters of the first body 1 and the second body 2 are consistent, and the fixing hole 5 is concentrically arranged with the first body 1 and the second body 2 .
