🔌 Function

Holds a hose onto its stub and keeps the joint tight as the hose and the stub expand, contract and settle in service.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Rust streaks, a seized or rounded screw, or a band that will no longer pull up tight
• A joint that weeps even though the clamp is tight, or a clamp that has cut into the hose wall
• A clamp found loose after a season, the hose having taken a set beneath it

🛠️ Service Notes

• Match the clamp to the hose outside diameter so the band closes well within its working range rather than at the very end of its travel
• Position it over the spigot behind the bead or barb, with the screw where a driver or spanner can still reach it once everything is refitted
• Tighten to seal, not to crush — an over-tightened worm-drive clamp cuts into soft hose and starts the leak you were trying to stop
• Renew clamps when a hose is changed rather than reusing them, and keep band, housing and screw all marine-grade stainless so the clamp does not corrode against itself
• Where two clamps are fitted to one connection, stagger the screw heads and recheck both after the first running period
