TheOne Spring Hose Clamps Light are self-tensioning sealing components, which ensure a leak-free sealing of hose/spigot joints. Utilizing austempered, high-tensile chrome-vanadium spring steel, the final product indicates great flexibility and strength, ensuring a reliable, leak-proof connection of a hose to a fitting.Automobile manufacturers use spring clamps on cooling system hoses because haven’t found a better or cheaper way to apply tension to the hose regardless of the hose’s condition. This matters because as the hoses age, they may harden, soften, swell, or lose their structural rigidity, and spring clamps will continue to apply force on the hose regardless of the condition of the hose.

he major difference between a spring and a screw hose clamp is the amount of tension or pressure they put on the hose. Spring hose clamps put constant and firm tension. Screw clamp hoses are tightened with screws, and the inner diameter remains the same. In consequence, pressure is inconsistent on the hoses.
