Value Collection MS01B51273 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 164

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01B51273 is a worm drive gear clamp rated to SAE Size 164, designed for securing hose, tubing, and ducting connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical applications. The clamp adjusts from 2 inches to 10-3/4 inches in diameter, making it suitable for a wide range of pipe and hose sizes on a single clamp body. The band is constructed from Grade 201 stainless steel and carbon steel, delivering corrosion resistance alongside structural strength. The 1/2-inch band width distributes clamping load evenly to reduce hose deformation under torque. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors use this style of clamp as a reliable field fastener for both new installations and service work.

This worm gear clamp is used in residential and light commercial settings wherever flexible hose or duct must be secured to a barbed or slip fitting. Typical applications include radiator and coolant hose connections, HVAC flex duct terminations, irrigation lines, and general-purpose piping assemblies. The broad diameter range of 2 to 10-3/4 inches means one SKU covers multiple connection sizes on the same job, reducing the number of clamp sizes a technician needs to carry on the truck.

Key Features

• SAE Size 164 worm drive clamp with a 2 to 10-3/4 inch adjustment range
• Grade 201 stainless steel and carbon steel band construction for corrosion resistance and strength
• 1/2-inch band width for even load distribution and reduced hose deformation
• Worm drive mechanism allows precise tightening with a standard screwdriver or nut driver
• Sold individually, suitable for single-connection service calls or bulk procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style worm gear clamp suitable for hose, tubing, and flexible duct connections with an outside diameter falling within the 2 to 10-3/4 inch clamping range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by placing the clamp around the hose or duct before sliding it onto the fitting, then positioning the clamp band over the fitting barb and tightening the worm screw with a flathead screwdriver or 5/16-inch hex nut driver. Power down or shut off fluid flow to the line before service on live systems. Do not overtighten to the point of cutting the hose material or collapsing thin-wall tubing. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for clamp placement and spacing when used in code-governed plumbing or gas-adjacent duct assemblies.
