Bramec 17160 Stainless Steel Gear Clamp 2-16.25 in

Product Description

The BRAMEC 17160 is a quick-release stainless steel gear clamp designed for securing hoses, ducts, and fittings across a wide clamping range. Built from stainless steel for corrosion resistance, it covers a diameter range of 2 inches to 16.25 inches, making it a versatile fastening solution for HVAC, plumbing, and related mechanical applications. The quick-release mechanism speeds up installation and removal without sacrificing holding force. Technicians and tradespeople working on duct connections, drain lines, or flexible hose assemblies will find this clamp well suited to repeated service calls.

This gear clamp is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a wide-range, adjustable clamp is needed. Common install scenarios include connecting flexible duct collars, securing rubber couplings on drain or waste lines, clamping hose assemblies in mechanical rooms, and similar tasks. The broad diameter range means a single clamp covers many connection sizes, reducing the need to stock multiple clamp sizes on a service vehicle.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Wide clamping range from 2 inches to 16.25 inches accommodates varied connection sizes
• Quick-release mechanism allows faster installation and removal
• Gear-drive band provides consistent, even clamping pressure around the full circumference
• Suitable for HVAC duct, plumbing, and general mechanical hose connections

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or new-installation gear clamp for hose, duct, and fitting connections with outside diameters between 2 inches and 16.25 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or mechanical contractors using a standard slotted or hex-drive screwdriver or nut driver. Ensure the hose or duct is fully seated on the fitting before tightening the clamp band. Tighten evenly and do not overtighten to the point of distorting flexible material. For duct applications, verify that the connection meets local mechanical code requirements for the specific duct type being secured.
