Value Collection MS09B96118 Constant Torque Hose Clamp

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS09B96118 is a constant torque hose clamp designed to maintain consistent clamping pressure across a hose outside diameter range of 3.78 to 4.646 inches. The clamp body is constructed from grade 304 stainless steel with a carbon steel screw, delivering corrosion resistance suited to wet, chemical-exposed, or high-vibration environments. At 5/8 inches wide and 0.70 inches in band thickness, this clamp provides broad contact area to distribute load evenly across the hose surface. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors install this type of clamp where thermal cycling or pressure fluctuation would cause a standard worm-drive clamp to loosen over time.

This constant torque clamp is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications involving hoses in the 3-3/4 to 4-5/8 inch outside diameter range. Typical use cases include coolant lines, HVAC condensate or refrigerant hose connections, plumbing discharge lines, and similar fluid-handling assemblies where a self-adjusting, spring-loaded band maintains seal integrity as the hose expands and contracts. Each package contains one clamp.

Key Features

• Constant torque design maintains clamping pressure through thermal expansion and contraction cycles
• Fits hose outside diameters from 3.78 to 4.646 inches (3-3/4 to 4-5/8 inches fractional)
• Grade 304 stainless steel band resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• 5/8 inch wide band distributes clamping load to reduce hose deformation
• 0.70 inch band thickness provides structural rigidity under pressure
• Carbon steel screw for reliable tightening torque and ease of installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard constant torque replacement or new-installation clamp for hoses with an outside diameter between 3.78 and 4.646 inches across plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical fluid-handling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or mechanical contractors using a flat-blade or hex screwdriver. Shut off fluid flow and depressurize the line before removing any existing clamp or hose fitting. Position the clamp over the hose end before seating the hose onto the fitting, then tighten the screw evenly to achieve full band contact without over-compressing the hose wall. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the specific system type being serviced.
