Dixon Valve Coupling DL306 Double Bolt Hose Clamp

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING DL306 is a double bolt hose clamp constructed from plated iron, designed to secure hose connections in industrial and commercial fluid-transfer applications. The double bolt design distributes clamping force evenly around the hose circumference, reducing the risk of hose distortion or slippage under pressure. This clamp accommodates hose outside diameters from 2-3/4 inches to 3-1/16 inches and weighs 0.1 pounds. It is typically installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians working on hose assemblies in water, air, and general fluid-service lines.

The DL306 is suited for use in industrial facilities, commercial mechanical rooms, and field service applications where a reliable, heavy-duty clamp is required on larger-diameter hoses. The plated iron construction provides corrosion resistance appropriate for general-purpose indoor and sheltered outdoor service. This clamp is sold individually and is well matched to hose assemblies in the 2-3/4 to 3-1/16 inch OD range commonly found in process piping, HVAC equipment connections, and pump discharge lines.

Key Features

• Double bolt design provides balanced, even clamping force across the full hose circumference
• Plated iron construction offers corrosion resistance for general-purpose service environments
• Fits hose outside diameters from 2-3/4 inches to 3-1/16 inches
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for easy single-handed installation in tight spaces
• Sold as individual unit with no minimum order requirement beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use double bolt clamp for hoses with an outside diameter between 2-3/4 inches and 3-1/16 inches in general industrial, commercial plumbing, and HVAC hose assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pipefitters, plumbers, or qualified maintenance technicians. Depressurize and drain the hose assembly completely before removing any existing clamp or fitting. Position the clamp so both bolts are accessible and tighten each bolt alternately in small increments to ensure even seating without distorting the hose wall. Follow applicable IPC or facility maintenance standards for hose connection service in pressurized systems.
