WORM DRIVE HOSE CLAMP Here are the key components and features of a worm drive hose clamp: Metal Band: Typically made of stainless steel or other durable metal, the band forms a loop around the hose. Worm Gear Mechanism: The screw threads inside the clamp are shaped like a "worm" (a helical gear), which, when turned, tightens the clamp around the hose. Screw: A screw is used to adjust the tightness of the band. Turning the screw causes the band to constrict, firmly holding the hose in place. Material: The band is often made of stainless steel to resist rust and corrosion, making it suitable for use in wet or high-temperature environments. Durability: Worm drive hose clamps are adjustable and reusable, and they provide a strong, secure hold for hoses in a variety of settings.
