Ideal Industries 6828051 Worm Drive Clamp Stainless Steel

Product Description

The IDEAL INDUSTRIES 6828051 is a stainless steel worm drive hose clamp designed for securing hoses, tubing, and fittings in a wide range of plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical applications. It accepts diameters from 1.25 inches up to 2.25 inches, making it suitable for mid-range hose and pipe connections. The band is 0.5625 inches wide and uses a single 0.3125-inch bolt to cinch the clamp evenly around the fitting. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and outdoor environments. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors typically specify this clamp where a reliable, adjustable band clamp is needed on flexible or rigid connections.

This clamp is used in residential and light commercial settings wherever hose-to-fitting connections must be sealed and held securely. Typical install scenarios include condensate drain lines, coolant hoses, flexible duct connections, irrigation lines, and general fluid transfer piping. The adjustable range of 1.25 to 2.25 inches covers common nominal hose sizes in those applications. A single-bolt worm drive design allows easy tightening with a standard screwdriver or nut driver without special tooling.

Key Features

• Adjustable clamp range: 1.25 inches minimum to 2.25 inches maximum diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use worm drive clamp for hoses and flexible tubing with an outside diameter between 1.25 and 2.25 inches across plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors. Shut off fluid flow and depressurize the line before removing or installing any hose clamp. Position the clamp at least 0.25 inches from the end of the hose before tightening. Do not overtighten to the point of cutting into hose material — snug and uniform seating is the goal.
