Hose clamps


Hose clamps/clips are devices acting as an attachment and seal to a hose.

Hose clamps/clips are of different types, sizes, material and pressure.
But let discus firstly on the types.

TYPES OF HOSE CLAMPS/CLIPS:

The spring hose clamps, worm gear/screw band hose clamp,wire clamp, ear clamps and double bolt clamps 

THE SPRING CLAMP:
Its a narrow protrusion centerd clamp. Its made up of a spring steel and a sling protrusion on the both ends of the clamp.

Spring clamps are used by pressing together the two exposed tabs with a plier to expand the radius of the clip/clamp, before its pulled on the hose to grimp the hose to the barb.

Spring clamps are not used on a high pressure hoses but on a low or medium pressure hoses. This is because the force applied by the spring clamps are not enough to grimp high pressurehydraulic hoses 

Spring clamps/clips are used with an automotive cooling systems, automatic engine bays and some vaccume hoses.

THE WORM GEAR CLAMP/SCREW BAND CLAMP:

These type of clamps are formed with a band and a fitted in screw thread pattern. The worm gear screw clamps are used by pulling the clamp on the hose before using a screw driver to tighten it to the hose and the barb. Its known as a worm drive type of clip. The screw band clips /clamps requires no much pressure  or force.
The hoses best for these worm gear screw clamps are garden hoses, water hoses, vaccume hoses etc.
