Value Collection XM01D2138 Worm Gear Clamp Sae 16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION XM01D2138 is a worm gear clamp rated SAE Size 16, designed to secure hoses and flexible tubing with a clamping range of 3/4 inch to 1-1/2 inches in diameter. The band is constructed from Grade 201 stainless steel and measures 5/16 inch wide, providing corrosion resistance and consistent clamping force across the full diameter range. This type of clamp is a standard fastening component used in plumbing, HVAC, automotive, and light industrial applications wherever a reliable, adjustable hose connection is required. Installation is performed with a standard screwdriver or nut driver.

This worm gear clamp is suited for residential and light commercial installations involving hose-to-fitting connections on water lines, coolant lines, drain lines, and similar flexible tubing assemblies. The worm drive mechanism allows for fine diameter adjustment within the SAE 16 range, making it practical for field fitting in tight or variable-diameter applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors routinely use this style of clamp for secure, leak-resistant connections.

Key Features

• SAE Size 16 clamp with a clamping range of 3/4 inch to 1-1/2 inches in diameter
• Grade 201 stainless steel band for corrosion resistance
• Band width of 5/16 inch for stable, even clamping pressure
• Worm drive mechanism allows precise, tool-adjustable tightening
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds per clamp

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE 16 worm gear clamp for use with hoses and flexible tubing in the 3/4 inch to 1-1/2 inch outside diameter range across plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by placing the clamp over the hose before seating the hose onto the fitting, then positioning the clamp within the recommended seating zone and tightening with a flathead screwdriver or 5/16 inch hex nut driver. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can deform the hose or strip the worm drive. Ensure the hose is fully seated on the fitting barb before final tightening. Follow applicable plumbing or mechanical codes for the specific system being serviced.
