Designed for thermal cycle applications, this stepless spring clamp offers a clamping range of 2.75 to 3.125 inches and a width of 0.35 inches. The self-tightening mechanism is lightweight, adjustable, and reusable, ensuring efficient performance in demanding environments such as radiators, thermostat-to-engine blocks, and heater hoses.
The tongue-in-groove design provides a complete 360deg; seal around the hose, while the spring automatically reacts to thermal expansion, contraction, and vibration. This minimizes cold water leaks by continually adjusting to changes in hose size.
Constructed entirely from 300 AISI series stainless steel, the clamp features a low installation torque requirement, reducing stress and potential damage to delicate silicone hoses. The torque rating ranges from 12 to 18 lb-in, making it a reliable choice for secure hose attachment.
Installation steps: Open the screw until it stops at the D-Nut. Unhook the range control latch from the tabs, and place the clamp over the hose. Ensure the tongue is in the groove, engage all tabs in windows to the tightest position, and tighten the screw until the spring is fully compressed, then tighten three more full revolutions.

Question by: Larry F on Jul 5, 2025, 6:54 AM
got a hose that measures right around 3 inches, would this clamp cover that or am i pushin it?
Answer by: Customer Support on Jul 6, 2025, 6:51 PM
You are in the sweet spot as long as the hose outside diameter lands between 2.75 and 3.125 inches. That clamping range is what the clamp is built around.
