T-bolt hose clamp A T-bolt clamp is a type of heavy-duty clamp designed to provide a strong, secure, and uniform seal on high-pressure hoses, such as those used in automotive, industrial, and agricultural applications. Key Features: Construction: Usually made from stainless steel or galvanized steel, T-bolt clamps consist of a wide metal band and a T-bolt fastener that allows for high clamping force. Design: The T-bolt passes through a trunnion (a sort of anchor point) and is tightened with a nut, distributing force evenly around the hose. Applications: Common in turbochargers, intercoolers, radiators, and intake systems, especially where silicone or reinforced hoses are used. Advantages: High strength and durability Better sealing under vibration or high pressure Reusable and corrosion-resistant (in stainless steel versions)
