Gates Power Grip Hose Clamp to

Gates PowerGrip SB heat-shrink hose clamps (also sold as Power Grip clamps) are maintenance-free thermoplastic hose clamps. They are designed to replace conventional metal worm-gear clamps on cooling system and other hose connections. The clamps hold dynamic tension, so they do not need to be retightened. They stop leaks even on out-of-round fittings.

Key Features:

• Heat-shrink design: Installs with an ordinary heat gun.
• Self-regulating tension: The heat-sensitive thermoplastic has a memory that helps prevent over-tightening and under-tightening.
• Shrink indicator: A built-in indicator shows when the clamp has shrunk enough to seal.
• Conforms to the connection: It adapts to the shape of the hose and housing, including out-of-round fittings.
• Wide sealing area: The wider band entraps the connector bead.
• Corrosion-free: The smooth surface will not rust or corrode, and it is resistant to automotive fluids.
• Temperature range: -40°F to 302°F (-40°C to 150°C).

The wide band spreads clamping force evenly around the hose, which avoids the damage that over-tightened metal clamps can cause. The clamps are well suited to automotive, heavy-duty, marine and industrial hose applications. Select the child item that matches your hose outside diameter.
