Value Collection MS01D1332 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 12

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01D1332 is a worm gear clamp rated SAE Size 12, designed to secure hoses, tubing, and flexible connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical applications. The clamp accommodates a clamping diameter range of 0.5 inches to 1.25 inches and features a stainless steel band that is 0.5 inches wide. The band is constructed from Grade 201 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for wet and humid service environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors install this type of clamp when a reliable, adjustable hose-to-fitting connection is required.

This worm gear clamp is suited for light-duty hose and tubing connections in residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include condensate drain line connections, coolant hose fittings, water supply lines, and low-pressure pneumatic connections. The worm drive mechanism allows stepless diameter adjustment across the full clamping range, making it adaptable to varying hose wall thicknesses and fitting sizes within the SAE 12 envelope.

Key Features

• SAE Size 12 rating covering 0.5 inches to 1.25 inches clamping diameter
• Grade 201 stainless steel band and housing for corrosion resistance
• Band width of 0.5 inches distributes clamping force evenly across the hose surface
• Worm drive design allows stepless adjustment without discrete detent positions
• Lightweight at approximately 0.03 pounds per clamp

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 12 worm gear clamp suitable for hoses and flexible tubing with an outside diameter between 0.5 inches and 1.25 inches across plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade or hex-head screwdriver or nut driver; ensure the hose is fully seated on the fitting barb before tightening. Shut off and depressurize any fluid or air system before removing or replacing a clamp. Do not overtighten to the point of cutting into the hose wall, as this can cause premature hose failure. Follow applicable plumbing or mechanical codes, such as IPC or IFGC, for the specific system being serviced.
