Gates 32941 Power Grip Heat-Shrink Hose Clamp 1-1/2" to 1-3/4"

The Gates 32941 Power Grip Clamp is a revolutionary heat-shrink hose clamp designed to provide superior sealing performance without the need for constant retightening. Unlike traditional worm-gear clamps, this maintenance-free clamp uses heat-sensitive thermoplastic material with shape memory to create a secure, leak-proof seal on cooling system hoses, heater hoses, and other fluid transfer applications.

Key Features:

• Fits hose outer diameter from 1-1/2 inches to 1-3/4 inches
• Easy installation with a standard heat gun—no special tools required
• Heat-activated thermoplastic construction with memory prevents over-tightening or under-tightening
• Wider sealing surface entraps connector beads for enhanced security
• Conforms to irregular shapes and out-of-round hoses for superior sealing
• Built-in visual indicator confirms when clamp has fully shrunk to proper seal
• Maintains dynamic tension throughout temperature extremes from -40°F to 302°F
• Eliminates the need for periodic retightening common with traditional clamps

Power Grip Clamps are ideal for automotive, heavy-duty, and industrial applications where reliable, long-term sealing is critical. The thermoplastic construction resists corrosion and provides consistent clamping force over the life of the connection.
