Value Collection XM01D1432 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 12

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XM01D1432 is a worm gear clamp designed for securing hose connections across a wide range of plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical applications. Built to SAE Size 12 specifications, this clamp accommodates diameters from 0.5 inches to 1.25 inches and features a stainless steel band that resists corrosion in wet and humid environments. The worm drive mechanism provides consistent, adjustable clamping force, making it a reliable choice for technicians working with rubber hose, silicone tubing, and similar flexible conduit. Installation requires only a common flat-head or hex driver, keeping service time low.

This clamp is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a compact, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed. Typical applications include coolant hose connections, condensate drain lines, and general-purpose hose fittings in HVAC, plumbing, and pool equipment service. The 0.5-inch to 1.25-inch diameter range covers many standard hose sizes encountered in day-to-day field work. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pool service professionals will find this clamp fits well into routine maintenance and repair kits.

Key Features

• SAE Size 12 worm gear clamp for diameters from 0.5 inches to 1.25 inches
• Stainless steel band (Grade 201) resists corrosion in wet and humid service environments
• Band width of 0.3125 inches (5/16 inch) distributes clamping load evenly across the hose surface
• Worm drive design allows precise, tool-adjustable clamping force
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds, minimizing added load in tight or overhead installations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style worm gear clamp suitable for standard rubber, silicone, and flexible hose connections within the 0.5-inch to 1.25-inch outside diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or pool service professionals using a flat-head screwdriver or a 5/16-inch hex driver. Always relieve system pressure and shut off fluid supply before removing or repositioning any hose clamp. Inspect the hose and fitting surface for damage before applying the clamp, as a compromised hose will not seal reliably regardless of clamp torque. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for hose and clamp selection in your jurisdiction.
