Tridon 6260653 Micro-gear Hose Clamp 5/16 to 7/8 in Stainless

Product Description

The TRIDON 6260653 is an all stainless steel micro-gear hose clamp designed for securing small-diameter hose connections in tight spaces. The band, housing, and screw are all constructed from 300-series stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments. The clamp covers a clamping range of 5/16 inches to 7/8 inches and features a 5/16-inch-wide band that distributes clamping load evenly around the hose. At 0.018 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fastening solution suited for plumbing, HVAC, and general trade applications where standard worm-drive clamps are too large.

This micro-gear clamp is intended for small hose and tubing connections in residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include securing low-pressure coolant lines, condensate drain tubing, fuel lines, and other small-diameter flexible hose runs. The compact profile makes it well suited for confined installations where a conventional hose clamp cannot be positioned or tightened effectively. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors regularly specify micro-gear style clamps for finish work and service calls requiring precise, low-profile clamping.

Key Features

• All 300-series stainless steel construction — band, housing, and screw — for full corrosion resistance
• Clamping range: 5/16 inches to 7/8 inches, suited for small-diameter hose and tubing
• 5/16-inch-wide band distributes clamping force evenly to reduce hose deformation
• 1/4-inch slotted hex head screw allows tightening with a flat-blade screwdriver or hex driver
• Compact, lightweight design at 0.018 pounds for use in restricted spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard micro-gear hose clamp for small-diameter flexible hose and tubing with an outside diameter falling within the 5/16-inch to 7/8-inch clamping range.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or general contractors using a flat-blade screwdriver or 1/4-inch hex driver. Ensure the hose or tubing is fully seated on the fitting before positioning and tightening the clamp. Do not overtighten — excessive torque on small-diameter hose clamps can damage soft tubing or distort the clamp band. Confirm the clamp is centered over the bead or retaining ridge of the fitting for a secure, leak-free connection.
