Hose Clamps

Screw/band hose clamps are often used to attach sections of wastewater pipes or as an emergency repair for damaged pipes. A certain design of spring clamps is often used on vacuum hoses. Many times, hose clamps are used in settings other than their intended use. Hose clamps are sometimes used in place of duct tape in instances where tightening bands is useful.

Ironically, screw band hose clamps are more often used outside of plumbing. The strength of screw band hose clamps makes them an attractive device for tasks such as mounting signs and other types of home repairs. Hose clamps can be found on such things as gas scooters, pipe hangers, antennae mounts, and a variety of automotive devices.

Hose clamps are designed to create a tight seal that will prevent liquid from escaping. Hose clamps are also designed to keep the hose securely attached to the barb. See the articles below to find out more about hose clamps.
