Value Collection MS09D96118 Constant Torque Hose Clamp

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS09D96118 is a constant torque hose clamp engineered to maintain consistent clamping pressure across a hose outside diameter range of 3.78 to 4.625 inches. Unlike standard worm-gear clamps, a constant torque design compensates for thermal expansion and contraction cycles, keeping the seal tight over time. The band is 5/8 inches wide and constructed from stainless steel, with a Grade 301 and 410 stainless steel screw for corrosion resistance. At 0.03 pounds, it is a lightweight hardware component suited for plumbing, HVAC, and industrial hose assembly work performed by licensed tradespeople or experienced technicians.

This clamp is appropriate for securing hoses in residential and light commercial applications where vibration, pressure fluctuation, or repeated thermal cycling would cause a fixed-torque clamp to loosen over time. Typical installation scenarios include coolant lines, radiator hoses, HVAC condensate drain connections, and similar fluid-transfer assemblies where maintaining a reliable seal is critical. The 3.78 to 4.625 inch diameter range covers a common hose size found across plumbing and HVAC systems.

Key Features

• Constant torque design maintains clamping pressure through thermal expansion and contraction cycles
• Fits hose outside diameters from 3.78 to 4.625 inches
• Band width of 5/8 inches provides stable, even load distribution
• Stainless steel construction with Grade 301 and 410 stainless steel screw for corrosion resistance
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds, minimizing added load on hose assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard constant torque replacement clamp for hoses with an outside diameter between 3.78 and 4.625 inches in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial hose assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or mechanical tradespeople. Before servicing any hose connection, shut off fluid flow, relieve system pressure, and allow components to cool to ambient temperature. A standard flat-head or hex driver is used to tighten the screw; do not overtighten, as constant torque clamps are designed to self-regulate clamping load. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the specific system being serviced.
