Split brass hose clamp
Split clamp in permanent-mold cast brass for securing high-pressure washer hoses to grooved hose barbs, in 1/2" and 3/4" sizes.
ML3118.0003
High-strength split clamp for anchoring and securely fastening high-pressure washer hoses to their fittings (grooved hose barbs). Suited for service and fuel stations, professional car washes and detailing shops, industrial cleaning lines with pressurized water and medium/high-pressure hydraulic systems using rubber hoses with nylon or steel braiding.
Permanent-mold casting gives the metal greater density, eliminates porosity and produces sturdy inner walls that withstand controlled crushing, preventing the fitting from pulling out under water hammer or hydraulic pressure peaks.
• Type: reinforced split clamp, permanent-mold cast
• Body: high-purity brass alloy, resistant to oxidation from water and chemical detergents
• Finish: natural blasted brass
• Fastening: 2 hex bolts in carbon steel with bichromate finish
• Ribbed inner profile with ridges that fit into the hose and the barb groove, for a firm grip and a perfect seal
• Sizes: 1/2" and 3/4"
Installation: push the proper hose barb all the way into the hose, position the two halves of the clamp exactly over the recessed groove of the barb and tighten the side bolts alternately and progressively, keeping the gap between the two halves equal on both sides.
Caution: overtightening with high-torque pneumatic tools can strip the threads; firm hand tightening or a calibrated torque wrench is recommended to avoid damaging the brass.
