What are different types of hose clamps?

1 . SS Worm drive hose clamp :

Worm drive clamps have threaded strip and a screw is tightened in a housing cap. Hose Pipe Clamps strip and lock is stainless steel and screw is galvanized steel with combination head.

2. 304 Stainless steel hose clamps:

Hose clamp – band, housing and the screw are all made of premium stainless steel grade SS 304. Hose clamps are salt resistant, anti rust, anti corrosion, oil and water proof. Nesco hose pipe clamps are strong, sturdy and reliable. Nesco SS 304 hose clamps have no failure torque strength of 9.1 Nm. SS 304 hose clamps have also low temperature strength and smooth workability.

3. Spring band hose clamps :

Made from a spring steel strip, for low pressure applications. Spring band clamps have constant tension: lets the clamps automatically expand and contract with your hose or tube as temperatures fluctuates. Smaller size spring hose clamp is required than pipe diameter. These clamps can be reused till tension remains in the clamp. Because of the advantages of their design these clamps are mostly used for hose connections in heating, cooling and air ducting systems.

4. Clamp with knob for hose pipe :

These are worm type hose clamps with a PVC handle for easy operation. No tools are required for fitting. Hose clamps edges are smooth .They are also called butterfly hose clamps. These clamps are designed for DIY, home and garden pipe fitting.

5. CV Boot Clamps :

Made of prime stainless steel strip SS 304 with square holes in it. The other end of strip has pointed teeth to firmly grip axle boots. These clamps are fitted with special hose clamp crimping tool.

6. Automotive Wire hose clamps:

Wire hose clamps are manufactured from wire with a screw placed in small steel strip in the rounded edges of wire.

7. Double wire hose clamps mild steel

A thick wire is double rounded at two edges of a screw and a nut on other side as a loop. Hose clamps are plated for corrosion resistance.

8.Stainless steel double wire hose clamps

These Nesco double wire hose clamps have wire,nut and screw of stainless steel for best performance.

9.Miniature (Mini) Worm Drive Hose Clamps

Miniature, or micro, worm drive hose clamps are used for securing small-diameter hoses where space is small and the optimal strength is required. These clamps feature a narrow band about 8mm wide—and use a tiny hex-head screw with a slotted drive, making them easy to tighten with a screwdriver or a nut driver.

Micro worm drive clamps are manufactured using stainless steel bands for corrosion resistance, and may have either stainless steel or zinc-plated screws . Their compact design makes them ideal for situations where larger clamps simply won’t fit, like in vacuum lines, small fuel hoses, or on delicate aquarium tubing and general purposes.

How Much Installation Torque is perfect for Worm Drive Hose Clamps?

When tightening a standard worm drive hose clamp, aim for about 50% to 70% of the maximum torque specified . Over-tightening can damage the clamp or the hose, while under-tightening may result in leaks. Always refer to the recommended torque range—typically mentioned on packaging or in technical data sheets . Using a torque wrench ensures you stay within this safe zone for a secure, leak-free fit.
