Midland Industries FLJS208 Smooth Id Band Clamp 2-1/4 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES FLJS208 is a smooth inside-diameter band clamp from the JS Series, designed to provide a clean, even clamping surface for hose, tubing, and piping connections. Constructed from stainless steel, it resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and outdoor service environments. The 2-1/4 inch nominal size suits a range of fluid and air system connections common in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial piping applications. The smooth ID design eliminates internal ridges that can damage soft hose liners or restrict flow, making it a reliable choice for service work that demands a clean seal.

This clamp is well-suited for residential and light commercial mechanical systems where secure, corrosion-resistant hose retention is required. Typical applications include condensate drain lines, water supply connections, flexible duct collars, and general-purpose tubing joints. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this type of clamp when a smooth clamping surface is needed to protect flexible hose materials from cutting or deforming under tightening load. The 5/8 inch band width provides a stable clamping footprint across the nominal diameter.

Key Features

• Smooth inside diameter prevents hose liner damage during tightening
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• 2-1/4 inch nominal size fits common hose and tubing ODs in mechanical systems
• 5/8 inch wide band distributes clamping load evenly around the connection
• JS Series design for consistent dimensional tolerances across the product line
• Minimum order quantity of 1 for single-unit service and repair use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service clamp for 2-1/4 inch nominal hose and tubing connections in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this clamp using a standard flathead or hex-drive screwdriver depending on the hardware style. Shut off the relevant fluid or air supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any clamp. Tighten evenly to seat the band flush against the hose surface without over-torquing, which can collapse soft tubing. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the specific piping system being serviced.
