Flexible Couplings and Adapters

Choosing hose clamps for flexible couplings and adapters depends on several factors such as the size and type of the hoses, the operating pressure, and the environment. Here are some general recommendations:

  1. Type of Clamp:

    • Worm Gear Clamps: These are versatile and widely used for a variety of hose sizes and materials. They are adjustable and easy to install.
    • T-Bolt Clamps, TT Clamps: Provide a more secure and uniform clamping force, suitable for higher pressure applications and where vibration may be an issue.
    • High Torque Hose Clamps: The general purpose in automotive and heavy duty industrial, the 2 piece lock housing construction provides a superior tightening torque.

  2. Material:

    • Stainless Steel: Provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability, suitable for most environments.
    • Galvanized Steel: More affordable than stainless steel but may not offer the same level of corrosion resistance.
    • Plastic or Nylon: Used in applications where metal clamps might cause damage or where corrosion is not a concern.

  3. Size:

    • Ensure the clamp size matches the outer diameter of the hose and the corresponding adapter or coupling.

  4. Pressure Rating:

    • Check the maximum pressure rating of the clamp to ensure it matches or exceeds the operating pressure of your system.

  5. Environment:

    • Consider factors such as exposure to moisture, chemicals, and temperature variations that could affect the clamp material and performance.

Example Recommendations:

  • Evereon Stainless Steel Worm Drive Hose Clamps: Suitable for general-purpose applications where corrosion resistance and durability are important.
  • Evereon High Torque Hose Clamps: Excellent for applications requiring higher clamping force and resistance to vibration.
  • Evereon Ear Clamps: Provide a secure fit without damaging the hose, ideal for automotive and industrial applications.
