Midland Industries 500104 Quick Release Band Clamp

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 500104 is a quick release worm-drive band clamp built for fast installation and removal in demanding trade applications. Constructed from 301 stainless steel with a 5/16 inch bolt, this clamp handles a minimum diameter of 1-3/4 inches and a maximum diameter of 7 inches, making it adaptable across a wide range of hose and tube sizes. The quick-release mechanism allows technicians to open and reposition the clamp without fully removing the fastener, saving time on repeated service calls. At 0.09 pounds, it is lightweight without sacrificing holding strength.

This clamp is suited for use in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial piping applications where secure, repeatable hose connections are required. The wide diameter range covers common duct, coolant, and fluid transfer hose sizes found in both residential and light commercial service environments. The 301 stainless steel band resists corrosion in wet and mildly corrosive conditions, making it appropriate for mechanical rooms, equipment pads, and exposed installations. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician, plumber, or mechanical contractor following applicable codes such as the IMC or IPC. Shut off fluid flow and depressurize the line before installing or removing any clamp. Use a standard 5/16 inch hex driver or nut driver to tighten the worm screw to manufacturer-recommended seating. Do not overtighten, as this can deform the hose or damage the band.
