Midland Industries M8-52 Standard Hose Clamp 52-55 Mm

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES M8-52 is a bolt-drive standard hose clamp engineered for reliable, secure hose and sleeve connections in fluid transfer, plumbing, and HVAC applications. It features a minimum clamp diameter of 52 mm and a maximum clamp diameter of 55 mm, giving technicians a focused adjustment range suited to consistent-diameter hose work. The clamp body is constructed from steel with a clear zinc-plated finish that resists corrosion in damp or wet service environments. An 8 mm drive bolt delivers controlled clamping force, and the band measures 0.87 inches wide at 0.8 mm thick. Rated to 13.28 ft-lb torque, this clamp suits professional installers who need repeatable, specification-compliant fastening.

This clamp is a T-bolt maxi-style, bolt-drive unit suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC ductwork connections, and general fluid-handling assemblies where a 52 mm to 55 mm hose or sleeve outside diameter is present. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters securing rubber hoses, silicone sleeves, or flex connectors to rigid pipe stubs, barbed fittings, or nipples in both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• 52 mm minimum to 55 mm maximum clamp diameter for a precise adjustment range
• Steel construction with clear zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance
• 8 mm bolt drive for use with standard hex-head tooling
• Band width of 0.87 inches provides broad clamping surface to reduce hose deformation
• 0.8 mm band thickness balances flexibility with clamping strength
• Rated to 13.28 ft-lb torque for controlled, repeatable installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style bolt-drive hose clamp replacement for applications requiring a 52 mm to 55 mm outside-diameter hose or sleeve connection in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the specific system. Always depressurize and drain the line before removing or installing hose clamps. Position the clamp band squarely over the hose end and tighten the 8 mm bolt incrementally to the rated torque using a calibrated torque wrench. Do not overtighten beyond the rated 13.28 ft-lb, as excess force can split the hose or deform the band.
