Trident Marine Constant Torque Hose Clamp
Item: #1708634 | Part Number: Not Selected
The Trident Marine Constant Torque Hose Clamp delivers reliable, long-term sealing by actively compensating for hose compression and temperature changes. Unlike conventional clamps, its unique worm gear Belleville assembly maintains consistent torque, reducing the risk of leaks and re-tightening. Built from stainless steel for marine durability.
Trident Marine Constant Torque Hose Clamp Item # 1708634
Description
Virtually all rubber hose compresses after the installation of a clamping device, resulting in an almost immediate torque loss that can exceed 80% of installation torque. Similarly, virtually all metal connections expand as a system heats up, and then contracts as the system cools. Conventional worm gear, T-bolt, and other clamps are passive, in that expansion or contraction of components cannot be compensated for with out re-tightening or loosening the clamps. This clamping system is an "active" clamping mechanism, which monitors and then compensates for the changes by actually changing diameter through a unique worm gear Belleville assembly.
