Value Collection BDNA-24114 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-24114 is a worm gear clamp designed for secure hose and tube connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical applications. The clamp features a stainless steel band that resists corrosion and holds up in wet or high-humidity environments. It covers a diameter range of 13/16 inches to 1-1/2 inches, making it suitable for smaller-diameter hose connections. The band width is 1/2 inch, providing a consistent sealing surface across the clamp seat. Installation is straightforward with a standard hex-drive or flat-blade screwdriver on the worm-drive screw. This clamp is sold individually and is typically purchased in multiples of 10.

This clamp is appropriate for residential and light commercial use wherever a reliable, adjustable hose clamp is needed in the SAE 16 size range. Common applications include radiator hoses, coolant lines, drain connections, condensate lines in HVAC systems, and general plumbing hose fittings. The stainless steel construction makes it a suitable choice for outdoor or damp installations where carbon steel hardware would corrode over time.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 16 worm gear clamp suitable for hoses and tubing with an outside diameter between 13/16 inches and 1-1/2 inches across plumbing, HVAC condensate, and general mechanical hose applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified mechanic. Always depressurize and drain the line before removing or installing a hose clamp. Position the clamp at least 1/4 inch from the end of the hose to prevent the band edge from cutting into the hose material. Tighten the worm screw until the clamp seats firmly without deforming the hose wall.
