FAQs

What is the primary use of these hose clamps?

These hose clamps are designed to secure hoses and prevent the loss of liquid, air, or gases by creating a tight seal.

What does 'worm drive' mean in this context?

The 'worm drive' refers to the mechanism where turning a screw moves a threaded component (the band), allowing for precise and incremental tightening of the clamp around the hose.

What are the dimensions of the band and the clamp size?

The clamps have a 12mm bandwidth. The size '100-120mm' refers to the range of hose outer diameters that the clamp can effectively secure.

What is the maximum torque recommended for these clamps?

The maximum recommended torque value for these clamps is 4.0 newton millimeters (Nm).

What material are these clamps made of?

They are made of W1 Mild Steel, which is zinc-coated for corrosion resistance.

Are these clamps suitable for high-pressure air systems?

Yes, they are suitable for compressed air systems, provided the required clamping force does not exceed the maximum recommended torque and the hose is rated for the system pressure.

What industries commonly use these types of clamps?

Common industries include automotive, agriculture, aviation, material handling, marine, plant & construction, gas & chemical, medical equipment, and heating & ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Clamp does not tighten sufficiently

Ensure the clamp is within its specified size range (100-120mm) for the hose diameter. Check that the screw mechanism is clean and free of debris. Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum recommended torque value; if the clamp feels like it is slipping at low torque, the hose may be too large or damaged.

Hose leaks persist after tightening

Verify the clamp is centered on the leak point and positioned correctly over the fitting. Ensure the clamp is tightened to the appropriate torque. Inspect the hose for cracks or damage and consider replacing the hose if it is compromised. Confirm the clamp size is appropriate for the hose's outer diameter.

Clamp band appears rusted

The zinc coating provides moderate corrosion resistance. Light surface rust can be wiped away. For applications in highly corrosive environments, consider using stainless steel clamps. Inspect regularly for significant degradation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a secure and leak-proof seal for hoses.
  • Adjustable design allows for fine-tuning of clamping force.
  • Durable construction with zinc-coated steel for corrosion resistance.
  • Manufactured to recognized industry standards (DIN 3017).
  • Versatile for use across many industries and applications.
  • Embossed band ensures full contact and prevents hose damage.

Cons

  • Maximum recommended torque value is 4.0 Nm, which may be insufficient for extremely high-pressure applications.
  • Zinc coating may offer less corrosion resistance than stainless steel in highly aggressive environments.
  • Requires a screwdriver or nut driver for installation and adjustment.
  • The 100-120mm size is specific and not universally applicable to all hose sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Using a flat-head screwdriver or a nut driver, turn the screw in the clamp housing clockwise to tighten the band around the hose.
  4. 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.
