Value Collection MS01B5782 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 44

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01B5782 is a SAE 44 worm gear clamp designed for securing hoses, tubing, and flexible conduit in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical applications. The clamp features a 1/2-inch-wide band constructed from stainless steel and carbon steel, offering a balance of corrosion resistance and tensile strength. It adjusts to fit diameters from 2-1/4 inches up to 3-1/4 inches, making it suitable for a range of pipe and hose sizes within that window. The worm drive mechanism provides consistent, even clamping force around the circumference of the hose or fitting. Typically installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters, this clamp is a standard fastening component in both residential and light commercial work.

This worm gear clamp is used wherever a secure, adjustable band connection is needed on flexible hose or tubing in the 2-1/4 to 3-1/4 inch diameter range. Common applications include radiator and coolant hose connections, HVAC ductwork fittings, irrigation lines, and general plumbing hose assemblies. The SAE 44 sizing designation allows technicians to quickly identify and specify the correct clamp for the job without measuring every time. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• SAE 44 worm gear clamp with 2-1/4 to 3-1/4 inch diameter adjustment range
• 1/2-inch-wide band for broad surface contact and even clamping force
• Band material is stainless steel and carbon steel, grade 201
• Worm drive design allows tool-based tightening with a standard flathead or hex driver
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds per clamp — minimal weight addition to any assembly

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 44 worm gear clamp for use on hoses and flexible tubing with an outside diameter between 2-1/4 and 3-1/4 inches across plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flathead screwdriver or a hex driver depending on the screw head configuration. Always ensure the hose or fitting is fully seated before tightening the clamp. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can cut into soft hose material or distort the band. Follow applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC when using clamps in gas or potable water service applications.
