Midland Industries 90165 Worm Drive Hose Clamp 316 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 90165 is a worm drive hose clamp built from 316 stainless steel for demanding service environments. It carries a 5-1/8 inch nominal diameter, with a minimum clamp diameter of 5-1/8 inches and a maximum clamp diameter of 7-1/8 inches, giving technicians a solid range of adjustment for larger hose assemblies. The worm drive mechanism provides consistent, even clamping force around the full circumference of the hose. At 0.13 pounds, it is lightweight enough for single-hand placement during installation. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipe fitters working with oversized hose connections reach for this clamp when corrosion resistance is a priority.

This clamp is suited for residential and commercial applications where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or salt environments makes standard carbon steel clamps unsuitable. Typical install scenarios include marine plumbing, chemical transfer lines, pool and spa piping, and HVAC condensate or fluid lines with larger diameter hose fittings. The wide adjustment range accommodates hose and fitting combinations that fall anywhere between 5-1/8 inches and 7-1/8 inches in outside diameter.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and salt-spray environments
• Worm drive mechanism delivers uniform clamping pressure around the hose perimeter
• Adjustment range spans 5-1/8 inches minimum to 7-1/8 inches maximum clamp diameter
• Lightweight at 0.13 pounds, easing single-technician installation on large-diameter lines
• Part of the Ultra 316 all-stainless series for full corrosion resistance including the band, housing, and screw

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation worm drive hose clamp for large-diameter hose connections requiring 316 stainless steel construction in plumbing, HVAC, pool, and industrial service applications.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician should shut off fluid flow and depressurize the line before removing or installing any hose clamp. Use a flat-head or hex-drive screwdriver sized to the worm screw head to tighten the clamp evenly without overtightening, which can cut into hose material. Verify that the hose end is fully seated on the fitting barb before final tightening. IPC and IFGC guidelines for hose and clamp assembly apply where local codes are in force.
