The maximum hose size is 20mm (total max width).
It is suitable for rubber and silicone hoses, typically used in automotive applications, such as brake, fuel, and coolant lines.
The clamp is manufactured from steel.
Use the knurled steel knob to tighten the clamp until it is snug around the hose.
Yes, it has a silver zinc plated finish for corrosion resistance.
The clamp is designed for general use and is suitable for common applications like brake, fuel, and coolant lines, but it is not specifically rated for extremely high-pressure applications.
Clean the clamp periodically with a damp cloth. Inspect it for damage or corrosion and replace if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
Ensure the hose is within the clamp's size range (20mm max). Tighten the clamp using the knurled knob until it is snug. If the problem persists, check for damage to the clamp or hose and replace as needed.
Make sure the knob is not cross-threaded. Clean the threads and apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary. Check for any obstructions preventing smooth turning.
Check if the clamp is over-tightened. Loosen the clamp and retighten it to a snug fit. If the hose is severely damaged, it should be replaced. Ensure no sharp edges are in contact with the hose.
