Stainless-steel worm-gear clamps, pack of 10

These Ideal 6396 worm-gear hose clamps are made entirely from 201/301 and 305 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The interlocked construction and rectangular band slots distribute clamping force evenly around the hose. Each clamp is rated for 35 in-lb installation torque. The pack contains ten clamps for multiple connections.

Suits 4-1/2 to 6-1/2 inch hose diameters

Mechanics and maintenance teams securing large-diameter coolant, suction or discharge lines will find the SAE 96 range a direct fit. The 9/16 inch band width and 5/16 inch screw provide the grip needed on thick-walled rubber or silicone hose. Buyers needing smaller diameters, a different band material or a non-worm-drive style should look at other clamp types.

SAE 96 size defines the clamping range

The single specification that decides fit is the SAE 96 designation, which sets the minimum diameter at 4-1/2 inches and the maximum at 6-1/2 inches. Band thickness of .022 inch and the all-stainless construction are fixed by the same standard. Verify the hose outside diameter falls inside this window before ordering.

Questions about this item

What minimum hose diameter do I need for the Ideal 6396 SAE 96 clamp to grip properly?

The clamp's minimum diameter is 4 1/2 in, so the hose outside diameter must be at least that size for the 9/16 in band to engage.

Will the 5/16 in screw on these clamps work with my existing 3/8 in drive socket?

No, the screw requires a 5/16 in hex driver or socket; a 3/8 in drive is too large and will not fit the screw head.

How can I confirm each clamp is tightened to the correct 35 in-lb install torque?

Use a calibrated inch-pound torque wrench set to 35 in-lb on the 5/16 in screw; the rectangular band slots will lock at that value.
