Value Collection XM01B1432 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 12

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XM01B1432 is a worm gear clamp rated SAE Size 12, designed to secure hose and tubing connections across a wide range of trade and light industrial applications. The clamp features a stainless steel and carbon steel band that is 5/16 inches wide, with a clamping range of 1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inches in diameter. The worm drive mechanism delivers consistent radial pressure around the full circumference of the fitting, reducing the risk of leaks at hose-to-barb or hose-to-nipple joints. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors routinely use SAE worm gear clamps when connecting flexible hose to rigid fittings on low-pressure fluid and air lines.

This clamp is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, adjustable connection is needed on rubber, silicone, or reinforced hose. Typical uses include condensate drain lines, coolant hoses, water supply flex connections, and similar low-to-moderate pressure service. The SAE 12 size makes it a common choice when working with tubing in the 1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch outside diameter range. The band material combination of stainless steel and carbon steel grade 301 provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet environments encountered in HVAC and plumbing service work.

Key Features

• SAE Size 12 worm drive clamp with a clamping range of 1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inches
• Band material: stainless steel and carbon steel, grade 301
• Band width of 5/16 inches for consistent load distribution along the hose
• Worm gear design allows tool-adjustable tightening with a standard flat or hex-head screwdriver
• Compact and lightweight at 0.03 pounds per clamp

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 12 worm gear clamp for use with flexible hose and tubing in the 1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch outside diameter range, as used in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade or hex-head screwdriver or a nut driver. Ensure the hose is fully seated on the fitting before tightening the clamp. Position the clamp band so it sits clear of the hose end, typically 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch back from the barb shoulder, and tighten evenly to avoid distorting the hose. Shut off fluid flow and relieve any system pressure before replacing or repositioning a clamp on an active line.
