Midland Industries 844306 Spring Loaded T-bolt Hose Clamp

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 844306 is a spring loaded T-bolt hose clamp engineered for secure, vibration-resistant connections in demanding fluid and air handling systems. Built from 300 series stainless steel, it provides corrosion resistance suited to wet and high-temperature environments. The clamp spans a minimum diameter of 3.06 inches to a maximum of 3.38 inches, with a band width of 0.75 inches and a band thickness of 0.025 inches. A rated torque of 150 inch-pounds ensures consistent clamping force. Licensed trades and fleet mechanics rely on this clamp for applications where a standard worm-drive clamp is insufficient.

The 844306 is rated for use with air intake systems and coolant adapters, making it a practical choice for diesel and gasoline engine installations, HVAC fluid lines, and industrial hose assemblies. Its spring loaded tension design maintains consistent radial force as hoses expand and contract with temperature cycling, reducing the risk of loosening over time. It is appropriate for both light commercial and heavy-duty vehicle or equipment service environments where stainless hardware is specified.

Key Features

• Spring loaded T-bolt design maintains constant clamp tension through thermal expansion and contraction cycles
• 300 series stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, coolant, and outdoor-exposed installations
• Clamp diameter range of 3.06 to 3.38 inches accommodates standard hose sizes in that range
• Band width of 0.75 inches distributes clamping load evenly across hose surface
• Rated to 150 inch-pounds torque for predictable, repeatable installation
• Suitable for air intake and coolant adapter connections per manufacturer specification

Compatibility

Suitable for use with air intake and coolant adapter hose connections as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or technician with the system depressurized and cooled before service. Position the clamp over the hose end before seating the hose onto the fitting, then tighten the T-bolt to the rated 150 inch-pound torque using a calibrated torque wrench. Inspect the clamp band for proper seating with no overlap or gap at the joint after final torque. Follow all applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant service codes for fluid system connections.
