Value Collection MS01D51406 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 248

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01D51406 is a worm gear clamp rated to SAE Size 248, designed for securing hoses, tubing, and flexible connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial applications. The clamp features a stainless steel band that is 0.5 inches wide, fabricated from 201-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance. It accommodates a wide clamping range spanning 2 inches to 16 inches in diameter, making it suitable for large-diameter hose and duct connections. The worm drive mechanism allows precise torque adjustment with a standard screwdriver or nut driver. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals install this type of clamp where a reliable, adjustable seal is required on flexible connections.

This clamp is suited for residential and commercial applications where large-diameter flexible hose, duct, or tubing must be secured to a fitting or pipe. Typical installations include HVAC flex duct connections, large-bore coolant hoses, industrial fluid lines, and pool or irrigation plumbing. The broad 2-inch to 16-inch diameter range allows a single clamp size to cover many field scenarios without stocking multiple sizes. The worm drive design provides even band pressure around the circumference of the connection.

Key Features

• SAE Size 248 worm gear clamp with a 2-inch to 16-inch clamping diameter range
• 201-grade stainless steel band and housing for corrosion resistance
• Band width of 0.5 inches for consistent clamping pressure distribution
• Worm drive adjustment allows precise tightening with a standard screwdriver or nut driver
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds, easy to handle during overhead or confined-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style worm gear clamp for large-diameter flexible hose, duct, and tubing connections in HVAC, plumbing, pool, and industrial applications where an SAE 248 clamp is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified maintenance personnel. Shut off fluid flow and, where applicable, de-energize any associated equipment before installing or adjusting the clamp. Position the clamp evenly over the hose or duct and tighten the worm drive to manufacturer-specified torque using a flat-head screwdriver or hex nut driver. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can damage soft hose material or deform the band.
