Value Collection MS01B6589 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 48

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01B6589 is a worm gear clamp rated SAE Size 48, designed to secure hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical applications. The clamp spans a clamping range of 2.5 inches to 3.5 inches in diameter with a 0.5-inch-wide band constructed from Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel, Grade 201. The worm drive mechanism provides consistent radial pressure around the hose circumference, reducing the risk of slippage or leaks under vibration and pressure. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters commonly install these clamps on coolant lines, drain lines, flex duct connections, and similar piping assemblies.

This clamp is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, adjustable band clamp is required on hoses or tubing with an outside diameter between 2.5 inches and 3.5 inches. Typical install scenarios include connecting flexible drain lines, radiator hoses, exhaust flex sections, and similar fittings where a low-profile worm drive provides secure engagement without damaging softer hose materials. The SAE 48 designation indicates standardized sizing for consistent fitment across common hose and fitting diameters in that range.

Key Features

• SAE Size 48 clamp with a clamping range of 2.5 inches to 3.5 inches diameter
• Band material: Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel, Material Grade 201
• Band width of 0.5 inches for broad surface contact and even clamping pressure
• Worm drive design allows tool-adjustable tightening with a standard flathead or hex driver
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds per unit, suitable for overhead or confined-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 48 worm gear clamp for use on hoses and flexible tubing with outside diameters between 2.5 inches and 3.5 inches across plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified mechanical trades using a flathead screwdriver or nut driver. Always depressurize and drain the line before removing or installing any hose clamp. Position the clamp so the screw housing does not bear directly against sharp edges or fittings that could damage the band under torque. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the specific piping system being serviced.
