1. Tight Grip
These compression-style hose clamps provide five times the clamping force of a traditional worm gear clamp and apply that force evenly around the circumference of the hose without deforming. A hex bolt secures the clamp to the hose with little chance of popping off. These features make the clamps a great choice for silicone tubes and couplers used for custom cold-air intake and cooling systems.
Granatelli Billet Aluminum Hose Clamps are available in 83 precise size ranges, so finding the right size is a snap. They’re available in your choice of polished or black, red, blue, and gold anodized finishes.
