Value Collection BDNA-24121 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 44

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-24121 is a worm drive gear clamp rated SAE size 44, designed to secure hoses, tubing, and fittings across a wide range of trade and industrial applications. The clamp accepts diameters from 2-5/16 inches to 3-1/4 inches and features a stainless steel band that is 1/2 inch wide. The worm gear drive mechanism allows precise tightening with a standard slotted or hex-head screwdriver or nut driver. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors rely on this clamp type for reliable sealing on flexible hose connections in both wet and dry environments.

This clamp is suited for residential and light commercial applications including coolant hose connections, drain hose fittings, exhaust flex connections, and general fluid transfer lines. Its SAE 44 rating identifies the nominal size range, making it straightforward to cross-reference against existing clamp inventories on the job site. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in damp or chemically active environments such as mechanical rooms, crawl spaces, and equipment utility areas.

Key Features

• SAE size 44 worm drive clamp with a diameter range of 2-5/16 inches to 3-1/4 inches
• Stainless steel band and housing for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Band width of 1/2 inch distributes clamping force evenly across hose or tubing surface
• Worm gear drive accepts standard slotted screwdriver or 5/16 inch hex nut driver
• Compact profile fits tight installation spaces typical in mechanical and plumbing rough-in work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 44 worm gear clamp suitable for flexible hose and tubing connections in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical applications requiring a 2-5/16 inch to 3-1/4 inch clamping diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors using a slotted screwdriver or hex nut driver. Shut off fluid flow and relieve system pressure before replacing any hose clamp. Do not overtighten on thin-wall or soft hose materials, as excessive torque can cut into the hose. Verify the hose bead or fitting shoulder is fully seated before final tightening.
