WORM DRIVE HOSE CLAMP Design & Mechanism: A worm drive hose clamp consists of a stainless steel or galvanized band with a screw housing. When the screw is turned, it engages a threaded worm gear, pulling the band tighter around the hose. Application: These clamps are commonly used to secure hoses onto fittings (like barbs or nipples) in automotive, plumbing, and industrial applications, especially for low to moderate pressure systems. Material Options: Worm drive clamps are typically made from stainless steel, galvanized steel, or sometimes plastic. Stainless steel is preferred for corrosion resistance, especially in marine or chemical environments. Size Range & Adjustability: They come in various sizes and offer precise adjustability. The worm gear mechanism allows for a tight and secure fit, minimizing leaks. Advantages: Worm drive hose clamps are reusable, easy to install with a screwdriver or nut driver, and provide strong clamping force, making them a reliable choice for many mechanical and fluid applications.
