Value Collection MS01D391441 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 270

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01D391441 is a worm drive hose clamp rated SAE size 270, designed to secure hose and tubing connections in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical applications. The band is fabricated from 201 stainless steel and measures 0.5 inches wide, providing consistent clamping force across a diameter range of 15.375 inches to 17.375 inches. The worm gear drive mechanism allows precise tightening with a standard slotted or hex-head screwdriver or nut driver. Weighing 0.03 pounds, this clamp is a single-piece hardware item suited for installation by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters working on hose-to-fitting joints in both residential and commercial settings.

This clamp is appropriate for use on flexible hose, ducting, and tubing connections that fall within the 15.375-inch to 17.375-inch outside diameter range. Typical applications include large-diameter coolant hoses, flexible HVAC ducting collars, and drain or condensate connections where a secure, corrosion-resistant band clamp is required. The stainless steel construction makes it suitable for damp or corrosive environments commonly encountered in mechanical rooms and rooftop equipment installations.

Key Features

• SAE 270 worm drive clamp covering 15.375 to 17.375 inches diameter range
• 201 stainless steel band resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Band width of 0.5 inches distributes clamping load evenly across hose surface
• Standard worm gear drive accepts slotted or hex-head drivers for easy tightening
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds for easy single-hand positioning during install

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style worm gear clamp for flexible hose and ducting connections with an outside diameter between 15.375 inches and 17.375 inches, conforming to SAE 270 sizing standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians or plumbers using a flat-blade screwdriver or a 5/16-inch hex nut driver. Always depressurize and de-energize the connected system before removing or installing clamps on pressurized hose or duct connections. Position the clamp band squarely over the hose bead or fitting flange before tightening to avoid uneven seating. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can cut into soft hose materials or distort the band.
