Value Collection 3604 Bw Worm Gear Clamp Sae 4

Product Description

The Value Collection 3604 BW is a worm gear clamp rated SAE Size 4, constructed entirely from stainless steel for corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. The band, housing, and screw are all stainless steel, making this clamp suitable for wet, chemical-exposure, or high-humidity applications. The band is 0.5 inches wide with a thickness of 0.023 inches. Tightening is performed with a 1/4-inch hex drive, allowing installation with a standard nut driver or hex-head screwdriver. This clamp is sold individually and carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Worm gear clamps of this type are used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors to secure hose connections on fluid lines, ductwork transitions, radiator hoses, and similar applications. The all-stainless construction makes the 3604 BW appropriate for potable water systems, irrigation lines, marine environments, and anywhere carbon steel hardware would corrode. The SAE 4 size targets small-diameter hose and tubing connections in both residential and light commercial installations.

Key Features

• All-stainless construction: stainless steel band, housing, and screw resist corrosion in wet and chemical environments
• SAE Size 4 worm gear clamp for small-diameter hose and tubing connections
• 0.5-inch-wide band distributes clamping load evenly across the hose surface
• 1/4-inch hex drive compatible with standard nut drivers and hex-tipped screwdrivers
• Worm drive mechanism allows precise torque adjustment without over-tightening
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds - suitable for high-volume, multi-clamp installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE Size 4 worm gear clamp for small-diameter hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, irrigation, and general mechanical applications where stainless steel hardware is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified mechanical contractors using a 1/4-inch hex nut driver or screwdriver. Ensure the hose or tubing is fully seated on the fitting before tightening the clamp. Do not over-torque the screw, as excessive force can cut through the hose wall or strip the worm gear thread. For potable water applications, verify that all components in the assembly meet applicable local plumbing codes.
