Value Collection MS01D51311 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 188

Product Description

The Value Collection MS01D51311 is a worm gear clamp rated SAE size 188, designed to secure hose and tubing connections across a wide range of pipe and fitting diameters. The stainless steel band spans a clamping range of 2 inches to 12.25 inches in diameter, making it suitable for large-diameter applications where a single adjustable clamp is more practical than a fixed-size solution. The band is constructed from 201-grade stainless steel and measures 0.5 inches wide. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors use this style of clamp on ductwork connections, coolant hoses, water supply lines, and similar fluid or air-handling assemblies.

This clamp is appropriate for residential and light commercial installations where a worm drive mechanism is required to achieve a secure, evenly distributed grip around flexible hose or rigid tubing. The wide diameter range covers many common large-bore applications including radiator hose, flexible exhaust duct, pool and spa plumbing fittings, and irrigation supply connections. The worm drive screw allows precise torque adjustment with a standard hex or flat-blade driver during installation or periodic service.

Key Features

• SAE size 188 worm gear clamp with a clamping range of 2 inches to 12.25 inches diameter
• 201-grade stainless steel band resists corrosion in wet or humid service environments
• Band width of 0.5 inches distributes clamping force evenly around the hose or fitting
• Worm drive screw allows incremental tightening and field adjustment without special tools
• Single-piece adjustable design covers a broad diameter range, reducing the need to stock multiple fixed-size clamps

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose worm gear clamp for hose, tubing, and flexible duct connections requiring a clamping diameter between 2 inches and 12.25 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors as part of hose, duct, or fluid-line assembly work. Shut off fluid flow and depressurize the line before removing or installing any clamp. Tighten the worm drive screw with a flat-blade or hex driver to the hose or fitting manufacturer's recommended torque; do not over-tighten, as this can damage soft hose material. Verify the band sits flat and fully seated around the hose before returning the system to service.
