Midland Industries 600096 Worm Gear Clamp 4.5-6.5 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 600096 is a worm gear clamp designed for securing hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial applications. It features a stainless steel band paired with a carbon steel housing and screw, offering reliable clamping force across a wide diameter range. The clamp adjusts from a minimum of 4.5 inches to a maximum of 6.5 inches, making it suitable for larger-diameter hose and duct connections. With a rated torque of 50 inch-pounds and a band width of 0.5 inches, this clamp delivers consistent tension without distorting the hose or fitting. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors install this type of clamp in both residential and light commercial settings.

The 600096 fits within the 600 Series product line from MIDLAND INDUSTRIES, which is a general-purpose worm-drive clamp series. It is commonly used on radiator hoses, flexible exhaust connections, irrigation lines, pool and spa plumbing, and duct collars where a 4.5 to 6.5 inch clamping range is required. The stainless steel band resists corrosion in wet environments, while the carbon steel housing keeps costs in line for non-corrosive or intermittently wet applications. This is a single-clamp unit with a minimum order quantity of one.

Installation Notes

Worm gear clamps are installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople using a standard flat-blade screwdriver or a quarter-inch nut driver. Before installation, ensure the hose or duct is fully seated on the fitting and the system is depressurized and de-energized as applicable. Tighten to the rated torque limit and avoid overtightening, which can cut into the hose or strip the screw housing. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC provisions when using clamps on listed flexible connectors or gas appliance connectors.
