Steel Single Wire Hose Clamp

A Blue/White Zinc-Plated Single Wire Hose Clamp is a minimalistic, cost-effective fastening device designed for ultra-light-duty, non-critical hose and duct connections. Characterized by its single-wire construction and distinctive blue/white zinc chromate finish, this clamp type offers basic corrosion resistance and is intended for applications where sealing pressure and mechanical strength are not priorities.

Features of single wire hose clamp

Material & Finish

Wire Band: Made from a single strand of low-carbon steel wire, formed into a loop.

Finish: Treated with a blue or white zinc chromate plating (also known as zinc chromate conversion coating). This finish provides:

Enhanced corrosion resistance compared to bare steel.

A distinctive blue or iridescent white appearance for visual identification.

A passive layer that helps delay the formation of white rust.

Mechanism: Features a simple self-locking or squeeze-to-tighten design without screws or moving parts. The clamp is typically opened by squeezing its two free ends together with pliers and locks onto the hose by releasing, relying on the spring tension of the wire.

Advantages of single wire hose clamp

Extremely Low Cost & Simple: One of the most economical clamping solutions.

Lightweight & Low-Profile: Barely noticeable once installed.

Quick Installation with proper tools.

Basic Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for dry or mildly humid indoor environments.

No Screws to Loosen: Immune to vibration-induced loosening (though may lose tension due to material relaxation).

Working Principle

The clamp functions as a spring-tension ring.

Installation requires specialized clamping pliers to expand the clamp, place it over the hose and fitting, and release it to contract.

The clamping force is determined solely by the wire’s gauge (thickness) and spring temper, offering minimal and non-adjustable tension.

The Blue/White Zinc-Plated Single Wire Hose Clamp is a minimalist, non-sealing retention device for ultra-light-duty applications. Its single-wire construction and zinc chromate finish make it an economical choice for dust covers, loose ducting, and non-critical bundling, but it lacks the strength, adjustability, and sealing capability required for even basic hose connections. Its use should be limited to scenarios where failure poses zero risk to system function or safety.
