Value Collection MS01B1332 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 12

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01B1332 is a worm gear clamp rated SAE size 12, designed to secure hose and tubing connections across a clamping range of 0.5 to 1.25 inches in diameter. The band is 0.5 inches wide and constructed from grade 201 stainless steel and carbon steel, offering solid corrosion resistance for general-duty applications. The worm drive mechanism allows precise, tool-driven tightening with a standard slotted or hex-head screwdriver or nut driver. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors routinely install this clamp type on coolant hoses, condensate lines, fuel lines, and low-pressure fluid connections.

This clamp is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, adjustable band clamp is needed on flexible hose or tubing. Common install scenarios include condensate drain line fittings, radiator and coolant hose connections, exhaust flex couplings, and general plumbing hose barb fittings. The SAE 12 designation corresponds to the 0.5 to 1.25 inch diameter range, making it appropriate for small-diameter tubing connections found throughout mechanical systems.

Key Features

• SAE size 12 clamp covering 0.5 to 1.25 inches clamping diameter
• Grade 201 stainless steel and carbon steel band construction
• 0.5 inch wide band for stable, even compression across the hose surface
• Worm drive design allows fine adjustment and secure torque retention
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds per clamp, minimizing load on flexible connections

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style worm gear clamp for flexible hose and tubing connections with an outside diameter falling within the 0.5 to 1.25 inch clamping range in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver or a 5/16 inch hex nut driver. Power down or isolate the system and relieve any pressure before removing an existing clamp or fitting. Position the clamp over the hose before seating the hose on the barb or fitting, then slide the clamp into place at least 0.25 inches from the end of the fitting and tighten until snug. Do not overtighten, as excessive force can distort the band or damage soft hose material.
