Ideal 6260451 Mini Ss Hose Clamp Size 04 5/16-5/8 in

Product Description

The IDEAL 6260451 is a Size 04 mini general-purpose hose clamp built entirely from 300-grade stainless steel for strong corrosion resistance across a wide range of service environments. It covers a clamping range of 5/16 inches to 5/8 inches, making it well suited for small-diameter hose connections where a standard-size clamp would be oversized. The band features clean, punched rectangular perforations that maintain grip under load and allow quick engagement with a standard screwdriver or nut driver. A rounded radius at each perforation end reduces stress concentration, lowering the risk of clamp cracking under higher band tension. Sold in a box of 10.

This clamp is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications including plumbing, marine, automotive, industrial, and household hose connections. Its all-stainless construction makes it a reliable choice for underground installations and other moisture-rich environments where carbon steel hardware would corrode prematurely. IAPMO listed with the UPC shield, it meets requirements for plumbing installations where listed hardware is specified. Plumbers, marine technicians, and HVAC service professionals commonly reach for this clamp when working with small-bore hose assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires only a standard flat-blade screwdriver or 5/16-inch hex nut driver. Shut off fluid supply and relieve any line pressure before removing an existing clamp or seating a new one. Do not overtighten to the point of deforming the hose wall. For plumbing applications, verify that listed hardware is required by the applicable code before substituting alternative clamp types.
