Dixon Valve Coupling HSS96 Worm Gear Clamp

Product Description

The DIXON VALVE COUPLING HSS96 is a worm gear clamp designed to secure hoses, tubing, and flexible conduit connections across a range of trade and industrial applications. Worm gear clamps use a slotted band driven by a screw mechanism to apply even radial pressure around a hose or fitting, creating a leak-resistant seal. At 0.11 pounds, the HSS96 is a compact, lightweight fastener suited for use by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors who need a reliable, adjustable clamp for routine connections and repairs.

Worm gear clamps of this type are commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC ductwork connections, radiator and coolant hose applications, and pool or irrigation system piping. They are appropriate wherever a flexible hose must be secured to a barbed fitting, pipe stub, or coupling. The HSS96 is sold individually and is suitable for recurring maintenance work or new installation where a standard worm-drive clamp is specified.

Key Features

• Worm gear drive mechanism provides adjustable, even clamping pressure around hose or tubing
• Lightweight construction at 0.11 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces
• Compatible with standard barbed fittings, pipe stubs, and coupling ends
• Suitable for plumbing, HVAC, pool, and irrigation service applications
• Sold as individual unit for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service clamp for standard hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid handling systems where a worm gear clamp is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified mechanical contractors. Shut off fluid supply and relieve any system pressure before removing or replacing clamps. Use a flat-head or hex screwdriver appropriate to the band screw drive type. Tighten the clamp band evenly to achieve a secure seal without over-tightening, which can damage soft hose materials.
