Value Collection XM01B2138B Worm Gear Clamp Sae 16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XM01B2138B is a worm gear clamp designed for securing hose connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical applications. Built to SAE Size 16 specifications, it accommodates a clamping range of 3/4 inch to 1-1/2 inches in diameter. The band is 5/16 inch wide and constructed from 201-grade stainless steel and carbon steel, providing corrosion resistance suited to wet or damp service environments. The worm drive mechanism allows precise tightening with a standard slotted or hex-head screwdriver. At 0.03 pounds, the clamp is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors regularly specify this clamp type for hose-to-barb and hose-to-nipple connections.

This clamp is appropriate for residential and light commercial installations where hose-end connections require a reliable, adjustable seal. Typical applications include coolant hoses, drain lines, vent connections, and general fluid-transfer hose assemblies. The SAE 16 sizing designation makes it straightforward to specify and cross-reference against other SAE-standard clamps in the same diameter class. Minimum order quantity is 5 units per order, with individual packaging per unit.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation worm gear clamp for any hose or tubing with an outside diameter between 3/4 inch and 1-1/2 inches requiring SAE 16 clamp sizing.

Installation Notes

Worm gear clamps of this type are installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors. Before installing or replacing a clamp on an active fluid or refrigerant line, shut off flow and depressurize the line per applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Position the clamp over the hose end before seating the hose onto the fitting, then slide the clamp into position past the bead and tighten with a slotted or nut-driver style tool. Do not overtighten to the point of cutting into the hose material.
