Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the correct clamp size to match the outer diameter of the hose you need to secure. For these clamps, the size is indicated by the diameter range, e.g., 100-120mm.
- Place the clamp around the hose, ensuring it is positioned over the hose fitting or spigot if one is present, as this is typically where leaks occur.
- Using a flat-head screwdriver or a nut driver, turn the screw in the clamp housing clockwise to tighten the band around the hose.
- Tighten the clamp until it feels snug and secure. Adhere to the maximum recommended torque of 4.0 newton millimeters to prevent damage to the hose or clamp.
Compatibility:
These clamps are compatible with a wide variety of hose materials including rubber, silicone, and PVC, provided the hose is designed to be clamped. They are suitable for use with liquids, air, and gases across various temperature ranges typical for industrial and automotive applications.
Care:
To ensure longevity and consistent performance, periodically inspect the clamps for any signs of corrosion or damage. If minor surface rust appears on the zinc coating, it can often be wiped clean. In highly corrosive environments, more frequent inspection and replacement may be necessary. Ensure the clamping screw remains free of debris to allow for easy adjustment.
