Ideal Tridon 300300225051 T-bolt Spring Loaded Clamp

Product Description

The IDEAL TRIDON 300300225051 is a T-bolt spring loaded hose clamp designed to maintain consistent clamping force on hose connections subject to thermal expansion, vibration, or pressure cycling. It accommodates hose diameters from 2.25 to 2.563 inches and features a band width of 0.75 inches for a broad sealing surface. Constructed from stainless steel throughout, the clamp resists corrosion in wet, chemical, or high-heat environments. The spring-loaded T-bolt mechanism continuously compensates for hose relaxation and temperature-driven dimensional changes, reducing the need for retorquing after initial installation. This type of clamp is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors wherever a secure, vibration-resistant hose connection is required.

This clamp is suited for residential and commercial applications involving coolant hoses, charge air hoses, silicone couplers, and similar flexible hose connections. It performs well in engine bay, HVAC, and industrial piping installations where standard worm-gear clamps may loosen over time due to thermal cycling or vibration. The 2.25 to 2.563 inch clamping range targets mid-size hose diameters common in mechanical and fluid system work.

Key Features

• Spring-loaded T-bolt design maintains constant radial clamping force without retorquing
• Clamping range of 2.25 to 2.563 inches covers mid-size hose OD applications
• Band width of 0.75 inches distributes load evenly across the hose bead
• Full stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically aggressive environments
• Compensates automatically for hose relaxation and thermal expansion cycling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service clamp for flexible hoses with an outside diameter between 2.25 and 2.563 inches, including silicone couplers, coolant hoses, and charge air hose assemblies in HVAC and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or mechanical contractors. Depressurize and drain the relevant fluid circuit before removing any existing clamp or hose. Position the clamp over the hose bead and tighten the T-bolt fastener evenly; do not over-torque, as stainless steel hardware can gall or seize if driven past the designed preload range. Confirm the spring element is seated correctly and the band sits flat against the hose surface before returning the system to service.
