Bolt clamp A bolt clamp is a general type of clamp that uses a bolt or screw mechanism to apply tightening force. There are several types of bolt clamps, each suited for different applications depending on pressure, hose material, and environmental conditions. Common Types of Bolt Clamps: T-Bolt Clamp (as mentioned earlier) Heavy-duty Used for high-pressure or high-vibration applications Worm Gear Clamp (often called a hose clamp) Uses a slotted band and screw Ideal for low to medium pressure Common in automotive and plumbing V-Band Clamp Bolt or latch secures a V-shaped band Used for exhaust systems, turbochargers Allows quick disassembly Heavy-Duty Bolt Clamp Thicker bands and reinforced with a bridge Used on air, oil, and coolant hoses in industrial equipment Typically includes two bolts for even tension
