Value Collection MS01B102152B Worm Gear Clamp Sae 88

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01B102152B is a worm gear clamp rated SAE Size 88, designed to secure hose connections across a clamping range of 4 to 6 inches in diameter. The band is constructed from 201-grade stainless steel and carbon steel, offering corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of fluid and air transfer applications. At 1/2 inch wide, the band distributes clamping force evenly around the hose circumference. This clamp is a standard workhouse component installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors wherever a reliable, adjustable hose-to-fitting seal is required.

Worm gear clamps in the SAE 88 range are commonly used in residential and light commercial settings for heater hose connections, radiator hoses, ducting, and general-purpose plumbing or HVAC flex hose terminations. The 4 to 6 inch diameter range accommodates a broad variety of hose sizes encountered in both new construction and retrofit work. The adjustable worm drive mechanism allows for precise torque and fit without the need for specialized tooling beyond a standard flat-head or nut-driver.

Key Features

• SAE Size 88 worm gear clamp with a 4 to 6 inch adjustable clamping range
• Band constructed from 201-grade stainless steel and carbon steel for corrosion resistance
• 1/2 inch band width provides even load distribution along hose circumference
• Worm drive design allows precise tightening with a flat-head screwdriver or 5/16 inch hex driver
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds, suitable for high-volume service calls and inventory stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation worm gear clamp for hoses and flexible ducting with an outside diameter falling within the 4 to 6 inch range across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors. Before servicing any hose connection, shut off the relevant fluid or air supply and relieve system pressure. Position the clamp over the hose end before seating the hose onto the fitting, then tighten the worm screw evenly to achieve a leak-free seal without over-torquing, which can cut or deform the hose. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer hose ratings for maximum operating pressure and temperature.
