Tridon 6260453 Micro-gear Hose Clamp 5/16 to 5/8 in

Product Description

The TRIDON 6260453 is an all stainless steel micro-gear hose clamp designed for securing small-diameter hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications. Constructed entirely from 300 series stainless steel — including the band, housing, and screw — this clamp resists corrosion in wet and high-humidity environments. The clamp accommodates a range of 5/16 inch to 5/8 inch outer diameter. The band is 5/16 inch wide, and the fastener is a 1/4 inch slotted hex head screw, allowing installation with either a flathead screwdriver or a hex driver. This unit is sold individually.

This micro-gear clamp is suited for residential and light commercial installations where small-bore hose connections require a secure, corrosion-resistant clamp. Typical applications include condensate drain lines, coolant hoses, fuel lines, and other fluid-transfer tubing where the hose outer diameter falls within the 5/16 inch to 5/8 inch clamp range. Its compact profile makes it useful in tight spaces where standard worm-gear clamps are too bulky.

Installation Notes

Install with the appropriate screwdriver or hex driver; do not overtighten, as excessive torque can damage soft hose materials. Ensure the hose is fully seated on the fitting before tightening the clamp. Shut off fluid supply and relieve any line pressure before servicing the connection. Follow applicable plumbing or mechanical codes for the jurisdiction where the work is performed.
