Midland Industries 550128 Quick Release Band Clamp Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 550128 is a quick release worm-drive band clamp engineered for fast, secure clamping in demanding trade applications. Built from 301 stainless steel with a stainless housing and screw, this clamp handles a minimum clamp diameter of 1.75 inches and a maximum clamp diameter of 8.5625 inches, covering a wide range of pipe and hose sizes. The 5/16-inch bolt drive allows for rapid tightening and release without special tooling. At 0.115 pounds, it is lightweight enough for overhead and tight-space installs. HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors rely on clamps of this type for duct connections, hose assemblies, and fluid-handling lines.

The 550128 is suited for both residential and light commercial applications where a reusable, corrosion-resistant clamp is required. Its broad diameter range makes it adaptable to flexible duct collars, coolant hoses, irrigation lines, pool equipment plumbing, and similar round-section clamping tasks. The quick release design reduces service time when repeated access to a connection is needed. Installers working in humid or outdoor environments benefit from the all-stainless construction, which resists rust and oxidation over repeated tighten-and-release cycles.

Key Features

• 301 stainless steel band, housing, and screw for full corrosion resistance
• Minimum clamp diameter of 1.75 inches and maximum of 8.5625 inches for broad fitment range
• Quick release mechanism allows fast removal and reinstallation without tools beyond a standard driver
• 5/16-inch bolt drive compatible with common hex and socket drivers
• Worm-drive design provides even clamping pressure around the full circumference
• Lightweight at 0.115 pounds, suitable for overhead and confined-space work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose worm-drive band clamp suitable for hose, duct, and pipe connections falling within the 1.75-inch to 8.5625-inch outside diameter range across HVAC, plumbing, pool, and mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or mechanical contractors using a standard hex driver or nut driver. Depressurize or shut off fluid flow in the line before removing or repositioning an existing clamp. Position the band squarely on the fitting or hose end before tightening to ensure even seating and a leak-free seal. Do not overtighten to the point of deforming flexible hose material.
