Value Collection MS01B1938 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01B1938 is a worm gear clamp rated SAE size 16, designed to secure hose and tubing connections across a wide range of trade and industrial applications. The clamp adjusts to fit diameters from 0.748 inches up to 1.5 inches, making it suitable for a variety of pipe and hose sizes in a single unit. The band is constructed from 201-grade stainless steel and carbon steel, offering corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. At 0.5 inches wide, the band distributes clamping force evenly around the hose or fitting. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors regularly use worm gear clamps for condensate lines, coolant hoses, and flexible duct connections.

This clamp is well-suited for residential and light commercial installations where a reliable, adjustable hose clamp is needed. Typical applications include securing flexible tubing on HVAC condensate drain lines, plumbing supply connections, coolant hoses, and low-pressure fluid lines. The worm drive mechanism allows precise tightening with a standard screwdriver or nut driver, making it practical for tight spaces and quick field installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician following applicable trade codes and manufacturer guidelines. Always depressurize and drain any connected lines before removing or installing a hose clamp. Use a properly sized screwdriver or nut driver to tighten the worm drive screw. Avoid overtightening, which can damage soft hose materials or deform the band.
