Hose clamps are devices used to secure a hose to a pipe or fitting, such as a spigot or barb. They work by tightening the hose, preventing liquids from escaping the connection and also stabilizing the hose. There are many different types of hose clamps, but the most common are screw and band. These hose clamps are easy to use and can be found in a wide variety of sizes, diameters, and materials.
Screw and band hose clamps are ideal for applications where a hose is required to be fixed in place with little to no movement or bending of the hose. They also tend to be less expensive than other hose clamps, and can be purchased in a range of different sizes.
Spring Clamps A spring clamp is a type of hose clamp that has two jaws joined by a steel spring. They are often used to attach a hose to a barbed fitting, as they have a higher clamping capacity than other types of hose clamps.
T Clamps A T-clamp is a type of hose clamp designed for high pressure pipes and hoses. It has a small grub screw that pulls the two halves of the clamp together to securely fasten heavy duty hoses. To use a hose clamp, simply insert the hose end onto the tube or pipe and then slide the hose clamp toward the end of the hose. A 1/4 inch space should be left between the hose and the hose clamp.
