Hose Clamp
The clamp that holds a hose onto a fitting, in stainless steel so it survives washdown and outdoor service.
Overview
What This Pump Does
Stainless steel worm drive hose clamps secure flexible hose to tube, fittings and equipment connections. They are supplied with the pipe fitting range so hose connections and rigid pipework come from the same order.
Stainless construction matters on these small parts: a plated clamp on a washdown line or an outdoor installation will corrode long before the hose it is holding.

Key Benefits
Small Part Frequent Failure
Stainless Construction
Resists washdown chemicals and outdoor exposure that destroy plated clamps.
Worm Drive Adjustment
Adjustable over a size range, which suits hose that is not exactly the nominal size.
Ordered With The Line
Supplied with fittings and supports rather than sourced separately at the last minute.
Held As Spares
Cheap enough to keep on the shelf, which avoids a hose connection waiting on a delivery.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
Flexible Hose Connections
Securing hose to barbed fittings and tube ends.
Temporary Transfers
Hose runs used during transfers, cleaning and maintenance.
Equipment Connections
Securing hose to pumps, drains and small equipment connections.
Who It Is For
- Maintenance teams
- Process operators using hose transfers
- Equipment builders
- Plants buying consumable hardware with their fittings
Problems It Solves
Clamps rust and fail
Stainless construction survives the washdown and outdoor conditions that destroy plated clamps.
Hose blows off under pressure
A correctly sized and tightened clamp is what keeps the connection together.
Stock runs out at the wrong time
Ordering clamps with the fittings keeps a supply on site.

Use Guide
Using Hose Clamps Correctly
Size To The Hose
Choose a clamp whose range centres on the hose outside diameter, not one at the end of its travel.
Position On The Barb
Place the clamp over the barb or serration, not beyond the end of the fitting.
Tighten Evenly
Tighten enough to seal without cutting into the hose wall.
Re-check After Use
Hose relaxes after the first pressurisation. Re-check the clamp before the next transfer.
