Ideal Tridon 6204053 Worm Gear Hose Clamp 5/16-5/8 in

Product Description

The IDEAL TRIDON 6204053 is a worm gear hose clamp designed to secure hose connections in plumbing, HVAC, automotive, and general mechanical applications. The band housing is constructed from 300 series stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments. The band measures 5/16 inches wide, and the hex head screw is carbon steel, driven by a standard 1/4 inch hex tool. This clamp suits any trade professional needing a reliable, single-bolt clamping solution for small-diameter hoses and fittings.

This clamp is sized for hose outside diameters ranging from 5/16 inches to 5/8 inches, making it appropriate for small coolant lines, drain connections, low-pressure water lines, and similar light-duty installations. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors commonly use clamps of this type when terminating flexible hose onto barbed or slip fittings in both residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

• 300 series stainless steel band housing for corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation worm gear hose clamp for small-diameter flexible hose connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical systems where a 5/16 inch to 5/8 inch clamping range is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified mechanical tradespeople using a 1/4 inch hex driver or nut driver. Before installing or replacing this clamp, shut off and depressurize the line being serviced. Seat the clamp squarely over the hose and fitting before tightening. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can damage thin-wall hose or soft fittings.
