Nominal Size: 1 1/2 inch (DN40 class hoses and pipes)
Clamping Range: Typically 40–47 mm OD (outer diameter) – depending on hose wall thickness
Band Width: 16 mm (Q16 designation)
Material Options:
AISI 304 Stainless Steel – general industry & food-grade
AISI 316 Stainless Steel – marine & chemical resistance
Spring Mechanism: Constant-tension design maintains uniform pressure under expansion/contraction
Fastener Type: T-bolt or hex bolt with self-locking nut
Temperature Range: −20 °C to +150 °C (depending on hose material)
Corrosion Resistance: High; 316 recommended for aggressive environments
Traditional worm-drive clamps may loosen under thermal cycles. The spring-loaded design automatically compensates for hose shrinkage or expansion, ensuring:
Leak-proof sealing under temperature variation
Reduced need for retightening
Higher reliability in vibration-prone systems
Spray nozzle lines (flat fan, hollow cone, full cone nozzles)
Chemical process lines – acids, alkalis (material compatibility required)
Food & beverage – dairy, juice, brewery lines
HVAC & automotive – cooling water hoses, turbo connections
Water treatment – filtration and dosing pipelines
Agriculture & irrigation – fertilizer dosing and mainline hoses

Measure OD: Use calipers to check hose outer diameter.
Position Clamp: Place band 1–2 mm behind the hose barb ridge.
Pre-tighten: Hand tighten until centered.
Torque Apply: Use torque wrench (5–9 N·m) for secure fit.
Check After Startup: Inspect for leaks after first operation.
⚠️ Warning: Over-torquing may cut into the hose or deform the fitting.
