Worm Drive Hose Clamps

Worm Drive Hose Clamps, also known as Worm Gear Clamps or Worm Drive Clamps, are a type of hose clamp that use a screw to tighten or loosen a band around a hose. They are one of the most common and widely used hose clamps, as they are suitable for a variety of applications and hose sizes.

Worm Drive Clamps are available in different material qualities, depending on the level of corrosion resistance and strength required. The most common material norms are W1, W2, W3, and W4, which are defined by the DIN/EN standards, DIN3017. The material quality of a worm drive clamp affects the band, the housing, and the screw of the clamp. The following table summarizes the main differences between W1, W2, and W4 material qualities.

What are the benefits of each of the materials?

• W1 is made entirely of Zinc Plated Mild Steel, and is the most cost effective options, but offers the lowest level of corrosion resistance of all the hose clamp materials.
• W2 is also made from Zinc Plated Mild Steel but has a 430 Stainless Steel band, which offers more corrosion resistance.
• W4 is made entirely of 304 Stainless Steel, which is the most corrosion-resistant and durable material of the 3.

We can also supply W5 Worm Drive Hose Clamps, which is made completely form 316 Stainless Steel, also known as Marine Grade Stainless Steel.
