The Dixon HS series stainless steel worm gear clamp has a stainless steel band and housing, a zinc-plated steel screw, and is for general purpose use. A worm gear mechanism adjusts the clamp’s diameter to precisely apply sealing pressure, and the clamp’s four-piece construction helps provide strong clamping. The band is made of stainless steel that conforms to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) 201 standard and the housing is made of SAE 301 stainless steel, each providing resistance to scaling and corrosion. The slotted, 5/16” hex-head screw allows installation using a blade screwdriver, nut driver, or socket wrench. The screw is made of SAE 1018 case-hardened, low-carbon steel that is zinc-plated and chromate dipped for resistance to rust. The clamp is recommended for maximum torque of 50 inch-pounds. These clamps meet the SAE J1508 standard for hose clamps. Hose clamps attach hoses to fittings to prevent flow leakage. They come in a variety of designs and distribute uniform pressure over the circumference of hoses to bind them to fittings. Hose clamps are suitable for a large number of industries, and commonly used in industrial, electronic, and automotive applications.Dixon Valve & Coupling Company manufactures pipe and hose fittings and accessories.
