Trident Marine 730-8000 5/8" Stainless Steel Constant Torque Hose Clamps 7.25"-8.125" for Marine, Automotive & Industrial Applications

Virtually all rubber hose compresses (cold flow) after installation of clamping device, resulting in an almost immediate torque loss that can exceed 80-Percent of installation torque. Similarly, virtually all metal connections expand as a system heats up, and then contracts as the system cools. Conventional worm gear, T-bolt, and other clamps are passive, in that expansion or contraction of components cannot be compensated for with out re-tightening or loosening the clamps.
