Screw clamps, also known as hose clamps or hose clips, are a type of mechanical fastener used to secure hoses onto fittings. They are typically made of metal, such as stainless steel or galvanised steel, and consist of a band with a screw mechanism that tightens the band around the hose.
Screw clamps are commonly used in automotive, plumbing, and industrial applications where hoses need to be securely attached to fittings. They are easy to install and adjust, and can be reused if needed.
There are different types of screw clamps, including worm gear clamps, T-bolt clamps, and spring clamps, each with its own specific design and application. It's important to choose the right type of screw clamp for the particular hose and fitting to ensure a secure and leak-free connection.
