13734871 - Worm Drive Hose Clamp 1/4-5/8 Inch

Reliable Connection Hardware for Industrial Systems

The ESAB 13734871 Hose Clamp is a critical component for maintaining the integrity of fluid and gas transfer systems in industrial environments. Designed with a precision worm drive mechanism, this clamp provides a consistent and adjustable clamping force, ensuring that hoses remain securely attached to fittings even under pressure. The clamp features a diameter range of 0.25 inches to 0.62 inches (approximately 6mm to 16mm), making it highly versatile for a wide array of small-diameter tubing applications commonly found in welding, automotive, and maintenance operations.

Constructed from durable materials designed to withstand the rigors of the workshop, this clamp resists deformation and corrosion. The band is engineered with smooth edges to prevent cutting or abrading the hose surface during tightening, which is particularly important for softer rubber or silicone hoses used for shielding gas or coolant. The housing encases the worm gear securely, preventing binding and ensuring smooth operation when adjusting the size. Whether you are setting up a new welding machine, repairing a cooling system, or running pneumatic lines for air tools, this clamp provides the mechanical security necessary to prevent leaks that could compromise process quality or safety.

Installation is straightforward, requiring only a standard flathead screwdriver or a hex nut driver. The slotted hex head screw offers multiple actuation methods, allowing for easy access in tight spaces where tool clearance might be limited. By maintaining a tight seal, the ESAB 13734871 helps maintain consistent flow rates and pressures within your system, contributing to overall equipment efficiency. It is an essential stock item for any maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) inventory.

Technical Specifications

This unit is specifically calibrated for small-bore hoses. The 0.25" minimum diameter ensures it can tighten down sufficiently on standard 1/4" ID hoses, while the 0.62" maximum allows it to clear the barb or fitting during installation before being tightened. It is compatible with most standard welding hoses, including those for Argon, CO2, and water-cooling mixtures.
