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 mechanism to tighten or loosen a metal band around a hose or pipe. They are one of the most common and widely used hose clamps as they are suitable for a wide range of applications and hose sizes across domestic commercial and industrial use.
Worm Drive Clamps are available in different material qualities depending on the level of corrosion resistance and strength required. The most common material grades are W1 W2 W3 and W4 which are defined by DIN3017 standards. The material grade affects the band the housing and the screw which in turn determines durability performance and resistance to environmental conditions.
Material Quality Comparison
| Material Quality | Band | Housing | Screw |
|---|---|---|---|
| W1 | Mild steel zinc plated | Mild steel zinc plated | Mild steel zinc plated |
| W2 | Stainless steel 430 | Mild steel zinc plated | Mild steel zinc plated |
| W4 | Stainless steel 304 | Stainless steel 304 | Stainless steel 304 |
The benefits of each material option include:
- W1 is manufactured entirely from zinc plated mild steel and is the most cost effective option while offering the lowest level of corrosion resistance
- W2 combines a stainless steel band with zinc plated components providing improved corrosion resistance
- W4 is manufactured fully from 304 stainless steel offering excellent corrosion resistance and long term durability
