Value Collection BDNA-24118 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-24118 is a worm drive worm gear clamp designed for securing hoses, tubing, and fittings in a wide range of trade and industrial applications. It carries an SAE 32 designation and accommodates diameters from 1-9/16 inches to 2-1/2 inches, making it well suited for medium-diameter hose connections. The band is fabricated from stainless steel and measures 1/2 inch wide, providing corrosion resistance and reliable clamping force across repeated service cycles. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors regularly install this type of clamp when connecting flexible hose to rigid fittings or barbed connectors.

This clamp is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a durable, adjustable hose clamp is needed. Common installation scenarios include coolant lines, drain hoses, duct connections, and water supply tubing where the hose outer diameter falls within the 1-9/16 inch to 2-1/2 inch clamping range. The stainless steel band resists rust in wet or humid environments, making it a practical choice for plumbing chases, mechanical rooms, and outdoor installations.

Key Features

• SAE 32 worm drive clamp covering 1-9/16 to 2-1/2 inches clamping diameter
• Stainless steel band for corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• 1/2 inch band width distributes clamping load evenly across hose surface
• Worm gear drive mechanism allows precise torque adjustment with a standard screwdriver or nut driver
• Compact and lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 32 worm gear clamp suitable for hoses and tubing with an outside diameter between 1-9/16 inches and 2-1/2 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors using a flathead screwdriver or a 5/16 inch hex nut driver. Shut off fluid flow and depressurize the line before removing an existing clamp or seating a new one. Position the clamp at least 1/4 inch from the end of the hose and tighten gradually to avoid cutting into the hose material. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines and the hose or fitting manufacturer recommendations for proper seating and torque range.
