Ideal 5032 50-Series Worm Clamp — 1-5/8" to 2-1/2" SS
The Ideal 5032 50-Series Hy‑Gear worm‑drive clamp is a heavy‑duty, corrosion‑resistant stainless steel clamp engineered for secure hose and irrigation connections. Designed for general purpose and industrial use, it combines reliable holding power with easy installation for plumbing, automotive, and landscape irrigation applications.
- Clamp range: Fits diameters from 1-5/8" to 2-1/2" (nominal).
- Material: Housing and band in 201/301 stainless steel for improved corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments.
- Width: 9/16" band profile provides even clamping pressure across the hose.
- Screw & bolt: Slotted hex head screw with plated carbon steel bolt for secure tightening and common driver compatibility.
- Applications: Suitable for irrigation, plumbing, light automotive, hobby, and general industrial uses where a durable, adjustable hose clamp is required.
Install the clamp by positioning the band over the hose and turning the slotted hex screw until the clamp seats firmly without distorting the hose. The Hy‑Gear worm drive design gives consistent torque and long service life when used within the specified diameter range. For best corrosion resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to highly corrosive chemicals; inspect periodically for wear and replace if the band or screw show damage.
