The clamp features a stainless steel band paired with a brass housing, delivering corrosion resistance suited to both wet and dry service environments. It adjusts across a diameter range of 0.38 inches minimum to 0.87 inches maximum, making it a compact, tight-range clamp for small-bore hose work. The 0.5-inch-wide band distributes clamping force evenly, reducing the risk of hose deformation. Actuation is via a hex drive, compatible with standard hex drivers or a nut driver. The clamp meets RoHS standards, confirming compliance with restricted hazardous substance requirements. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial trades specify this clamp where a reliable, tool-driven connection is required on small-diameter flexible hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 97HC-6 is suited for small-diameter hose connections found in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, hydronic plumbing lines, condensate drain tubing, and similar low-to-medium pressure piping applications. Its compact diameter range targets connections where standard mid-range clamps would over-span the fitting. The hex drive style allows consistent torque application with a nut driver or hex socket, making it practical in tight equipment access areas where a slotted screwdriver is difficult to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel band for corrosion resistance in wet service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass housing provides additional corrosion resistance over standard zinc housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter range: 0.38 inches minimum to 0.87 inches maximum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5-inch band width for even clamping force distribution on small-bore hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex drive actuation compatible with standard nut drivers and hex sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoHS compliant construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose worm drive hose clamp for flexible hose and tubing with an outside diameter falling between 0.38 inches and 0.87 inches, typical of small-bore condensate, coolant, and fluid-transfer hose connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or pipefitters as part of hose-to-fitting connections. Shut down and depressurize the system before removing or replacing any hose clamp. Seat the clamp at least one band-width back from the end of the fitting before tightening. Use a properly sized nut driver or hex socket on the 0.31-inch hex drive to apply even torque; do not over-tighten, as excessive force can cut through the hose wall or collapse thin-wall tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamp Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Worm Drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Clamp Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.38 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Clamp Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.87 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: RoHS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 97HC-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542386901298,"sku":"97HC-6","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/10db30ae535c13b88f6edf671d3f4f2a.jpg?v=1785899365","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-97hc-6-worm-gear-clamp-0-38-0-87-inch-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
