Hardt 3599 Helical Wheel Hose Clamp Stainless Steel

Product Description

The HARDT 3599 is a helical wheel hose clamp constructed from stainless steel and designed to secure hose connections across a clamping range of 1-1/16 inches to 2 inches. The worm-drive helical wheel design provides uniform radial clamping force, reducing the risk of hose deformation and fluid leaks. At 0.045 pounds, this clamp is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. It is a direct replacement component in the 24 Series clamp line. Licensed tradespeople in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service routinely use this style of clamp where positive, adjustable hose retention is required.

This hose clamp is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving coolant hoses, water supply lines, flexible HVAC duct connections, and similar service points. It fits hose and tube diameters from 1-1/16 inches up to 2 inches, making it appropriate for a range of standard pipe and hose sizes encountered in mechanical rooms, equipment rooms, and rooftop installations. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or outdoor environments.

Compatibility

Designed as a 24 Series replacement hose clamp for applications requiring a clamping range of 1-1/16 inches to 2 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors. Shut off fluid flow and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any hose clamp. Use an appropriate flat-head or hex driver to tighten the worm-drive screw to snug without overtightening, which can cut into hose material. Verify the clamp band seats evenly around the full circumference of the hose before returning the system to service.
