Value Collection MS01B3357B Worm Gear Clamp Sae 28

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01B3357B is a worm gear clamp rated SAE Size 28, designed to secure hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical applications. The clamp adjusts from 1.299 inches to 2.25 inches in diameter, accommodating a range of hose and fitting sizes within that span. The band is 0.5 inches wide and constructed from 201-grade stainless steel with a carbon steel worm drive housing. A licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or mechanical contractor typically installs this type of clamp during hose assembly or repair work on water, coolant, or air lines.

This clamp is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a reliable, corrosion-resistant worm drive clamp is required. Common applications include radiator hoses, HVAC condensate drain connections, water supply lines, pool and spa plumbing, and general-purpose hose terminations. The SAE 28 designation identifies the size range and ensures interchangeability with other SAE 28-rated clamps in the field. The stainless steel band resists moisture and mild chemical exposure, making it appropriate for both interior and exterior installations.

Key Features

• SAE Size 28 worm gear clamp with 1.299 to 2.25 inch diameter adjustment range
• 201-grade stainless steel band for corrosion resistance in wet environments
• Carbon steel worm drive housing for positive, repeatable clamping force
• Band width of 0.5 inches provides secure grip without cutting into soft hose material
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds, suitable for overhead or confined-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 28 worm gear clamp suitable for hoses and tubing with outside diameters falling between 1.299 and 2.25 inches across plumbing, HVAC, pool, and general mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

This clamp is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors using a flat-head or nut-driver screwdriver. Before installation, shut off fluid supply or depressurize the line being serviced. Position the clamp over the hose before seating the hose onto the fitting, then tighten the worm drive screw evenly until the hose is firmly secured without over-tightening, which can damage soft hose material. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the specific system being serviced.
