The high clamping force makes this a heavy-duty clip. Available as stainless-steel or steel hose clamps, these are ideal when space is restricted or hard to reach. NOT recommended for soft or silicone hose. For small hose assemblies, consider mini worm-drive hose clamps.

Applications and industries:

• Wire-reinforced hoses
• Automotive fuel lines and exhaust hoses
• Plumbing – seal hoses, water pipes and marine sink outlets
• Signage, temporary repairs, sealing large containers

These hi-torque worm clamps are the style meant when referring to jubilee clips. They feature a helical-threaded screw, or worm gear, which is housed in the clamp. When the screw is turned, it acts like a worm drive pulling the threads of the band. The band then tightens around the hose or tube.

Miniature worm drive hose clamps are commonly called micro hose clamps. They typically have a 5/16″ wide band and a 1/4″ slotted hex head screw. The construction can be made with a combination of stainless steel bands and zinc plated or stainless steel screws.

Worm drive or worm gear hose clamps are the most commonly used hose clamp. The clamps typically have a 1/2″ wide band and a 5/16″ slotted hex head screw. Not recommended for use with soft/silicone hoses or tubes. The hose clamps are manufactured in compliance with ANSI/SAE J 1670 recognized standard, entitles “Type F clamps for plumbing applications”.
