Gates 32751 Green Stripe T-Bolt Hose Clamp - 1.625-1.875 Inch

The Gates 32751 Green Stripe Heavy-Duty T-Bolt Hose Clamp is engineered for high-vibration and large diameter applications in heavy-duty trucks, off-road equipment, and industrial machinery. This professional-grade clamp delivers reliable, leak-free performance in demanding environments where standard worm-gear clamps may fail.

Key Features:

• Clamping range: 1.625" to 1.875" (41.4mm to 46.0mm)
• 3/4" wide band constructed from 201/301 stainless steel for superior strength and corrosion resistance
• 1/4"-28 plated steel bolt with 7/16" hex head for easy installation
• Nylon insert and plated steel locknut prevent loosening under vibration
• Recommended installation torque: 75 in-lbs (8.5 Nm)
• Sold individually

Applications:

Designed specifically for high-vibration environments common in heavy truck cooling systems, turbocharger intercooler connections, and industrial fluid transfer systems. The T-bolt design provides 360-degree compression and superior load distribution compared to traditional worm-gear clamps, making it ideal for securing radiator hoses, heater hoses, and charge air cooler connections on diesel engines.

Installation Notes:

Ensure hose fully covers the fitting before tightening. Torque to 75 in-lbs using a 7/16" socket or wrench. The locknut design maintains clamping force even in severe vibration conditions, though periodic inspection is recommended for critical applications.
