Value Collection MS01B5782B Worm Gear Clamp Sae 44

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01B5782B is a worm drive gear clamp rated SAE Size 44, designed to secure hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping applications. The clamp accommodates diameters from 2-1/4 inches to 3-1/4 inches and features a 1/2-inch-wide band constructed from Grade 201 stainless steel and carbon steel. The worm drive mechanism allows precise tightening across the full diameter range, making it a reliable choice for sealing flexible hose joints in light commercial and residential installations. Licensed tradespeople and experienced installers handle this type of clamp as part of routine connection work.

This SAE 44 worm gear clamp is suited for securing rubber, silicone, or reinforced hose onto barbed or slip fittings in plumbing drain and vent lines, HVAC condensate and flexible duct connections, and general mechanical piping. It is appropriate for residential service calls and light commercial installs where a moderate clamping diameter in the 2-1/4 to 3-1/4 inch range is required. The stainless steel and carbon steel band construction handles typical indoor and mildly corrosive environments.

Key Features

• SAE Size 44 rating covering 2-1/4 to 3-1/4 inches clamping diameter
• Grade 201 stainless steel and carbon steel band for corrosion resistance in standard service conditions
• 1/2-inch-wide band provides even load distribution across the hose bead
• Worm drive design allows stepless adjustment across the full diameter range
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds, suitable for confined or overhead installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 44 worm gear clamp for use with flexible hose and tubing connections in the 2-1/4 to 3-1/4 inch diameter range across residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Worm gear clamps are installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors using a flathead or hex-head screwdriver or nut driver. Before installation, ensure the system is depressurized and, where applicable, the fluid supply is shut off at the nearest isolation valve. Tighten the clamp evenly until the hose is firmly seated without over-compressing the hose wall. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the specific connection type and fluid being conveyed.
