Ideal Industries 6806051 Worm Gear Clamp 3/8 to 7/8 Inch

Product Description

The IDEAL INDUSTRIES 6806051 is a worm gear clamp designed for securing hose connections across a clamping range of 3/8 inch to 7/8 inch. Worm gear clamps use a slotted band tightened by a screw-driven gear mechanism, providing consistent radial pressure around hoses, tubing, and fittings. This clamp is suited for plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical applications where a reliable, adjustable band clamp is needed. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors regularly use worm gear clamps in both new installation and service work to secure coolant hoses, condensate lines, and low-pressure fluid connections.

The 6806051 is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work where hose or tubing outside diameters fall within the 3/8 inch to 7/8 inch range. Typical applications include condensate drain line connections, small-diameter coolant hoses, and flexible tubing terminations on HVAC equipment and plumbing fixtures. Its compact size makes it practical in tight equipment compartments where larger clamps would not fit.

Key Features

• Clamping range of 3/8 inch to 7/8 inch suits small-diameter hose and tubing connections
• Worm gear drive mechanism allows precise tightening and even band pressure
• Compact profile suitable for use in confined equipment spaces
• Adjustable design accommodates slight variation in hose or fitting outer diameter

Compatibility

Designed as a standard worm gear clamp for use with small-diameter hoses and flexible tubing in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical applications where the connection outer diameter falls within the 3/8 inch to 7/8 inch clamping range.

Installation Notes

Worm gear clamps are installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors using a flat-head or hex-head screwdriver or nut driver. Before installation, ensure the hose or tubing is fully seated on the fitting barb or spigot. Tighten the clamp screw gradually and evenly to avoid deforming the hose. Do not overtighten on soft or thin-wall tubing, as excessive torque can cut through the hose material.
