Description
Sizes and specifications
Various specifications: According to SAE standards, there are many sizes to choose from, such as the common SAE No. 12, which is suitable for hoses with a certain diameter range, such as 7/8-inch – 1 1/4-inch hoses. There is also SAE No. 36, which is suitable for hose diameters ranging from 1-13/16 inches to 2-3/4 inches.
Precise fit: It can accurately match small hoses of different sizes to meet various specific installation needs and ensure a tight connection between the hose and the connector.
Material performance
Strong corrosion resistance: Usually 300 series stainless steel and other materials are used, such as 301 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, etc. This material has excellent corrosion resistance and can resist erosion in humid, acidic and alkaline environments. It is suitable for various harsh working conditions, whether it is an indoor humid environment or an outdoor exposed environment, or even in contact with corrosive chemicals, it can maintain good performance and extend service life.
High Strength: The stainless steel material gives the hose clamp enough strength to withstand a certain amount of pressure without deformation, ensuring that it can still maintain a tight clamping when there is pressure in the hose to prevent the hose from falling off or leaking. At the same time, the full grain structure further increases the strength reserve of the clamp.
Design Features
Narrow Bandwidth: Some small hose clamps are designed with a narrow 5/16-inch band width, such as King Seal Fastener Technology’s KMF 5 SS model. This narrow band width produces significant sealing pressure while requiring relatively low installation torque, making it easy to install, especially suitable for space-constrained occasions.
Rolled Band Edge: The band edge of some hose clamps is rolled, such as Scandvik’s ABA 316 model, which prevents it from cutting into the hose, forming a smooth transition and avoiding cracks in the hose, which can extend the service life of even inexpensive hoses.
Special Threads: The threads are specially stamped to make the inside of the clamp completely smooth, eliminating friction between the hose and the band and achieving a 360-degree seal. In addition, the 6-degree thread pitch angle not only makes the clamp shockproof, but also allows a more secure grip on the hose without applying too much force to the screwdriver.
Installation and Use
Easy installation: Its lightweight and compact design makes it easy to install in a small space. For example, the Mini #3700 Hose Clamp is a lightweight, streamlined hose clamp that is commonly used in small diameter applications such as air and fuel lines. It is easy to install and can improve work efficiency.
Wide range of applications: It can be used for various types of small hoses, including air pipes, fuel pipes, water pipes, etc. in the fields of automobiles, ships, industrial machinery, etc., which can meet the needs of different industries.
