Value Collection MS01B6589B Worm Gear Clamp Sae 48

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01B6589B is a SAE 48 worm gear clamp designed to secure hose and tube connections across a clamping range of 2.5 inches to 3.5 inches in diameter. The band is 0.5 inches wide and constructed from stainless steel with a carbon steel screw housing, providing corrosion resistance suitable for wet or outdoor service environments. The worm drive mechanism allows precise tension adjustment with a standard slotted or hex-head screwdriver or nut driver. This clamp is a standard fastening component installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical trades on flexible hose, duct connections, and fluid transfer lines.

This clamp is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a clamping diameter between 2.5 and 3.5 inches is required. Typical installations include flexible duct collars, coolant hoses, drain lines, and similar applications where a secure, adjustable band clamp is specified. The SAE 48 size designation makes it straightforward to spec against industry-standard hose and fitting dimensions. Material Grade 201 stainless steel band provides adequate corrosion resistance for most plumbing, HVAC, and fluid system environments.

Key Features

• SAE 48 size with clamping range from 2.5 inches to 3.5 inches diameter
• 0.5-inch-wide band for even load distribution around the hose or fitting
• Grade 201 stainless steel band material for corrosion resistance
• Worm drive design allows continuous, precise diameter adjustment
• Compatible with standard slotted screwdriver or 5/16-inch hex nut driver

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 48 worm gear clamp for use with flexible hose, tubing, or duct connections requiring a clamping diameter between 2.5 inches and 3.5 inches.

Installation Notes

Worm gear clamps are installed by hand-tightening the screw until the band seats firmly against the hose or fitting, then applying final torque with a nut driver or screwdriver. Ensure the hose or tubing is fully seated on the fitting before tightening. For pressurized fluid or HVAC duct applications, verify the clamp size and material are appropriate for the service pressure and fluid type per applicable codes. Avoid over-tightening, which can cut into soft hose materials or distort thin-wall fittings.
