Value Collection MS01B1332B Worm Gear Clamp Sae 12

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01B1332B is a worm gear clamp rated SAE Size 12, designed to secure hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical applications. The clamp adjusts to fit a diameter range of 0.5 inches to 1.25 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of small-diameter hose assemblies. The band is 0.5 inches wide and constructed from Grade 201 stainless steel and carbon steel, providing solid corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in moderate-duty service environments. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters routinely use worm gear clamps of this type for quick, reliable hose terminations.

This clamp is well suited for residential and light commercial installations where hose barb, tubing, or flexible connector joints need a secure, adjustable mechanical clamp. Typical applications include condensate drain lines, coolant hoses, water supply connections, and equipment fittings where a positive seal is required. The SAE 12 designation identifies the diameter range and ensures the clamp matches industry-standard sizing conventions used across HVAC, plumbing, and fluid-handling systems.

Key Features

• SAE Size 12 rating covers a diameter range of 0.5 inches to 1.25 inches
• Band is 0.5 inches wide for broad contact and even clamping pressure
• Grade 201 stainless steel and carbon steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Worm drive mechanism allows precise, tool-accessible tightening with a standard screwdriver or hex driver
• Compact profile fits tight installation spaces around equipment fittings and hose barbs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 12 worm gear clamp for use with hoses and flexible tubing in the 0.5 inch to 1.25 inch outside diameter range across residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Install and service performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified mechanical trades. Before installation, ensure the hose or tubing is fully seated on the fitting barb before tightening the clamp. Position the clamp so the screw housing does not interfere with adjacent components, and tighten with a flat-blade screwdriver or hex driver until the clamp is snug and the hose cannot rotate. Do not overtighten, as excess torque can cut into flexible hose material or deform soft tubing walls.
