Features

Constant Tension Design: The defining feature is the inclusion of a coil spring mechanism, typically on the bolt assembly. This spring allows the clamp to subtly expand and contract with the hose and fitting during thermal cycling, ensuring the sealing pressure remains consistent and preventing leaks (often called "cold flow leaks").
High Strength and Durability: Constructed with a robust, wide stainless steel band (typically 3/4" wide), a T-bolt and a self-locking nut, these clamps are designed for demanding, high-vibration applications.
Corrosion Resistance: They are commonly made of high-grade stainless steel (e.g., Type 304 or Type 316), offering excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making them suitable for harsh or marine environments.
Hose Protection: Many feature a floating bridge liner and rounded band edges that prevent the clamp from cutting into or damaging soft hose materials, such as silicone, even under high tension.
Secure Fastening: The T-bolt design provides a strong, reliable connection that is highly resistant to loosening under constant vibration, a common issue with standard worm gear clamps.
Installation: They are typically installed using a socket or wrench for precise torque application, and proper installation requires ensuring the spring is not fully compressed or "bottomed out" when tightened to allow for movement.
