Midland Industries 90050 Worm-drive Hose Clamp 316 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 90050 is a worm-drive hose clamp built for secure, corrosion-resistant hose connections in demanding trade applications. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it offers superior resistance to chlorides, salt water, and chemical exposure compared to standard 304-grade hardware. The clamp has a nominal size of 1-1/2 inches, a minimum clamp diameter of 1-1/2 inches, and a maximum clamp diameter of 2 inches. The worm-drive band tightens uniformly around the hose, providing a reliable seal. It is well suited for plumbing, HVAC, pool, and marine service work where corrosion resistance is a priority.

This clamp is used wherever a hose-to-fitting or hose-to-nipple connection must be secured in corrosive or wet environments. Common applications include pool and spa plumbing, saltwater piping, chemical transfer lines, and HVAC condensate drain connections. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations where standard steel or zinc-plated clamps would corrode prematurely. It is a direct-install component sized for 1-1/2 inch nominal hose assemblies.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel band and screw for maximum corrosion resistance
• Worm-drive mechanism provides even, consistent clamping pressure around the hose
• Nominal size: 1-1/2 inches with a clamping range of 1-1/2 inches to 2 inches
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds, minimizing load on hose assemblies
• Suitable for pool, plumbing, HVAC, and marine service environments

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1-1/2 inch nominal hoses across plumbing, HVAC, pool, and general industrial piping systems where a worm-drive clamp is the specified fastening method.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pool service professionals using a flat-blade or hex-drive screwdriver or nut driver. Always depressurize and drain the line before removing or installing hose clamps. Position the clamp band evenly over the hose end and fitting bead before tightening. Do not overtighten the worm-drive screw, as excessive force can deform the hose or crack rigid fittings.
