American Type Hose Clamps

American Type Hose Clamps, also commonly known as worm drive hose clamps, are versatile and widely used fasteners designed to secure hoses onto fittings such as barbs, nipples, and spigots. Featuring a slotted band and a screw mechanism, these clamps allow for easy adjustment and a tight, reliable seal. Their straightforward design and ease of installation make them a popular choice across various applications, from automotive and plumbing to industrial and household use. 

Features

  • Simple and effective worm drive mechanism for easy tightening and loosening.
  • Perforated band design allows for flexibility and secure engagement with the screw.
  • Available in various materials, including carbon steel (often zinc-plated) and stainless steel, to suit different levels of corrosion resistance.
  • Wide range of sizes available to accommodate various hose diameters.
  • Easy to install using a screwdriver, nut driver, or socket wrench.
  • Provides a reliable seal to prevent leaks in fluid and air transfer systems.
  • Cost-effective and readily available.
  • Suitable for a broad range of applications across different industries.
  • Durable construction for long-lasting performance.
  • Can be re-tightened as needed to maintain a secure seal.
