Detail & Specs
Constant Tension Hose Clamp
A self-tensioning spring band clamp that provides a leak-free seal by adapting to the expansion and contractions of hoses subject to fluctuating temperature (within engine compartments). Made in Germany. All Constant Tension Clamps exceed SAE J1508 standards.
Determining Size
When selecting a suitable clamp, measure the expanded hose diameter after the hose is placed on the barb, not just the outer dimension of the hose before it is placed on the barb.
BelMetric provides 2 sets of measurements for evaluating the sizing of these clamps:
1. The manufacturer's size ranges are provided to us based on the design of the clamps by the manufacturer.
2. The BelMetric size ranges are based on our in-house measurements of the clamps when they are fully relaxed and fully opened in tension.
