Worm Drive Hose Clip

The Small American Type Worm Drive Hose Clip is a miniaturized version of the classic and ubiquitous worm gear clamp design, engineered to provide a secure, 360-degree seal on hoses and tubes with small diameters.

Key Components:

Perforated Band: A narrow, slotted stainless steel band that wraps around the hose.

Housing/Saddle: A small, stamped steel housing that contains the screw mechanism.

Worm Screw: A fine-threaded screw that engages with the perforations on the band.

Material of Worm Drive Hose Clip

W1 - All parts carbon steel with zinc plated. (screw, hosing and band)

W2 - Hosing and band stainless steel 201 or 301, screw carbon steel with zinc/nickel plated

W4 - All parts stainless steel 201 or 304. (screw, hosing and band)

All materials are available

Key Features of Worm Drive Hose Clip

Small Diameter Range: These clamps are typically designed for hoses and tubes with diameters ranging from as small as 1/4 inch (about 6mm) up to approximately 2 inches (about 50mm), depending on the specific model.

Precision and Control: The fine-pitch thread on the worm screw allows for very precise tightening, enabling a perfect seal without damaging delicate small-diameter hoses.

Low Profile Design: The compact housing and narrow band are designed to fit into tight engine compartments, electronic enclosures, and intricate mechanical assemblies where standard-sized clamps would be too bulky.

Robust Clamping Force: Despite their small size, they generate a significant and evenly distributed clamping force, preventing leaks under pressure and resisting loosening from vibration.

Material Options: They are most commonly made from Stainless Steel (typically Grade 304 for general use or Grade 316 for high corrosion resistance), ensuring excellent durability and protection against rust and corrosion.

Common Applications 

Small American Type clamps are critical in any scenario requiring a reliable seal on a small-diameter connection.

Automotive & Small Engines: Fuel lines (especially on carburetors and small engines), vacuum lines, coolant overflow hoses, and ATV/lawnmower applications.

Appliances: Securing water inlet and drain hoses in dishwashers, washing machines, and ice makers.

HVAC Systems: Used in control lines, humidifier connections, and other low-pressure tubing in heating and cooling systems.

Marine: For small-diameter fuel, bilge, and livewell lines in boats.

Laboratory & Medical Equipment: Securing tubing in fluid handling and analytical instruments where a secure, non-contaminating seal is vital.

General Plumbing: Ideal for connecting small-diameter water supply lines to faucets, toilets, and water filters.

Electronics Cooling: Securing hoses in liquid cooling systems for high-performance computers and servers.
