Value Collection MS01B4470 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 36

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01B4470 is a worm gear clamp designed for secure hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical applications. Built to SAE 36 specifications, it accommodates a clamping range of 1-3/4 to 2-3/4 inches in diameter, making it suitable for a variety of hose sizes common in trade work. The band is constructed from 201 grade stainless steel and carbon steel, providing solid corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. At 1/2 inch wide, the band distributes clamping force evenly across the hose surface, reducing the risk of deformation or leakage at the joint.

This worm gear clamp is used in residential and light commercial settings wherever hose-to-barb or hose-to-fitting connections must be secured reliably. Typical applications include HVAC condensate drain lines, plumbing supply and drain connections, pool and spa equipment plumbing, and general-purpose hose assemblies. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pool service professionals commonly install this clamp type during new construction, system repairs, and equipment retrofits where a positive mechanical seal is required.

Key Features

• SAE 36 rated with a clamping diameter range of 1-3/4 to 2-3/4 inches
• 201 grade stainless steel and carbon steel band construction for durability and corrosion resistance
• 1/2 inch band width for even clamping force distribution
• Worm drive mechanism allows precise torque adjustment with a standard screwdriver or nut driver
• Suitable for hose and tubing connections in wet and semi-exposed environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard worm gear clamp replacement or new-installation fastener compatible with hoses and tubing measuring between 1-3/4 and 2-3/4 inches in outside diameter across plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or pool service professionals using a flat-head screwdriver or 5/16 inch hex nut driver. Shut off the relevant water supply, refrigerant circuit, or fluid system before installing or replacing clamps. Position the clamp so the worm drive housing does not interfere with adjacent fittings or surfaces, and tighten until snug without over-torquing, which can damage the hose or band. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the specific system being serviced.
