Value Collection XM01B2138 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XM01B2138 is a worm gear clamp rated SAE size 16, designed to secure hoses and flexible connections in a wide range of trade and mechanical applications. The clamp accommodates outside diameters from 0.827 inches up to 1.5 inches, making it suited for a broad range of hose and tubing sizes. The band is constructed from 301 stainless steel and carbon steel, measuring 5/16 inches wide, and is driven by a worm-drive screw mechanism for consistent, adjustable clamping force. HVAC techs, plumbers, and mechanical contractors regularly use SAE worm gear clamps for condensate drain lines, coolant hoses, duct connections, and similar low-pressure piping tasks.

This clamp is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, adjustable hose clamp is required. Common install scenarios include securing rubber or silicone hoses on condensate drain assemblies, water supply connections, pool equipment plumbing, and general mechanical hose fittings. The SAE 16 size designation corresponds to the 0.827 to 1.5 inch diameter range, covering common 1-inch and 1-1/4-inch nominal hose sizes used across HVAC, plumbing, and pool service work.

Key Features

• SAE 16 worm drive clamp covering 0.827 to 1.5 inches outside diameter
• 301 stainless steel and carbon steel band construction for corrosion resistance in wet environments
• Band width of 5/16 inches for secure, even clamping pressure distribution
• Worm-drive screw mechanism allows precise torque adjustment without special tools
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds, suitable for tight or overhead installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 16 worm gear clamp for use with rubber, silicone, or flexible plastic hoses and tubing with outside diameters between 0.827 and 1.5 inches across HVAC, plumbing, and pool equipment applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-head or hex-drive screwdriver appropriate for the clamp screw head. Ensure the hose is fully seated on the fitting before tightening. Power down or depressurize the system before loosening or replacing any hose clamp on pressurized lines. Do not overtighten, as excess torque can damage soft hose materials or distort the band.
