Midland Industries 842010 Constant Torque Hose Clamp Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 842010 is a bolt-drive constant torque hose clamp designed to maintain consistent clamping pressure across a range of hose and fitting sizes. Built from 304 stainless steel with a 0.028 inch band thickness, it uses a 5/16 inch bolt to deliver up to 72 inch-pounds of torque. Constant torque clamps are preferred in applications where thermal cycling, pressure fluctuations, or vibration would cause a standard worm-gear clamp to lose clamping force over time. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipe fitters routinely specify this clamp type where long-term sealing integrity is critical.

The 842010 fits hose and tubing with an outside diameter ranging from 9/16 inch to 1-1/16 inch, making it suitable for small-diameter hose connections in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, plumbing drain and supply lines, and fluid handling assemblies. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, humid, or outdoor service environments. The bolt-drive design allows installation and removal with a standard hex driver or nut driver without special tooling.

Key Features

• Constant torque design maintains clamping pressure through temperature and pressure cycling
• 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and oxidation
• Clamp range: 9/16 inch minimum to 1-1/16 inch maximum outside diameter
• 5/16 inch bolt drive with 72 inch-pound torque rating
• 0.028 inch band thickness for a low-profile, secure fit
• Lightweight at approximately 0.115 pounds per clamp

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation bolt-drive constant torque hose clamp for small-diameter hose connections in HVAC, plumbing, and fluid handling applications with outside diameters between 9/16 inch and 1-1/16 inch.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any hose clamp. Use the correct hex or nut driver size matching the 5/16 inch bolt to apply torque evenly and avoid over-tightening, which can damage hose walls. Inspect the hose or fitting surface for damage before installing the clamp.
