Value Collection MS01D5276 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS01D5276 is a worm gear clamp rated SAE 40, designed for securing hoses, tubing, and flexible connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general trade applications. The clamp features a stainless steel band and worm drive mechanism that allows stepless diameter adjustment from 2.047 inches to 3.0 inches. The band is 0.5 inches wide and fabricated from grade 201 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors install this type of clamp where a reliable, adjustable seal is needed on flexible hose connections.

This clamp is suited for residential and light commercial installations where hose-to-fitting connections require a secure, leak-resistant seal. Typical applications include drain hose connections, condensate lines, radiator hoses, and general-purpose tubing in mechanical systems. The SAE 40 size designation covers a clamping range from approximately 2 inches to 3 inches in diameter, making it appropriate for mid-size hose and tubing commonly found in HVAC and plumbing work.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 40 worm gear clamp suitable for hoses and flexible tubing with an outside diameter between 2.047 and 3.0 inches in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

A flathead or hex screwdriver is used to tighten the worm drive screw. Shut off fluid flow and depressurize the line before removing or repositioning any clamp. Do not overtighten on thin-wall or soft tubing, as band edges can cause deformation or cuts. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements when used on potable water or drain connections.
