BRADAS GBS 71/24 Worm Gear Hose Clamp, Steel, 68-73 mm

The BRADAS GBS 71/24 is a professional-grade worm gear hose clamp designed for demanding connection tasks. Engineered from high-quality steel with a 24mm wide band, this clamp features a robust toggle closure mechanism that ensures a secure and uniform grip. The entire structure is protected by a consistent zinc coating, providing excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental wear. The specialized profile of the band is specifically designed to prevent damage to the hose surface during tightening, ensuring the integrity of your connections even under significant mechanical stress.

Advantages

This hose clamp offers exceptional clamping force, making it ideal for high-pressure and vacuum systems where a reliable seal is critical. The wide 24mm band design allows for even pressure distribution around the circumference of the hose, which minimizes the risk of leaks or localized deformation. Its durable steel construction combined with a protective zinc layer ensures long-term reliability in both indoor and outdoor environments. The toggle closure mechanism allows for quick and efficient installation, providing a secure fit that remains stable over time.

Suitable for

• Automotive cooling and intake systems
• Industrial vacuum and pressure installations
• Reinforced plastic and hard rubber hose connections
• Heavy-duty household plumbing and irrigation systems

When it may not be suitable

This clamp is designed for hoses with an outer diameter between 68 mm and 73 mm. It will not provide a secure seal if used on hoses outside of this specific diameter range. Additionally, while the zinc coating offers good corrosion resistance, it may not be suitable for highly aggressive chemical environments or constant exposure to saltwater, where stainless steel alternatives would be preferred.

Key specifications

• Clamping range: 68-73 mm
• Band width: 24 mm
• Material: Zinc-plated steel
• Closure type: Toggle mechanism

How to use

To install the clamp, first ensure that the hose is properly seated on the connector or pipe. Open the toggle closure and place the clamp around the hose. Position the clamp at the desired location, ensuring it is centered over the connection point. Close the toggle mechanism and tighten the screw until the clamp is firmly secured. Ensure that the band is not twisted and that the hose is not being pinched or damaged during the tightening process.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the exact outer diameter of your hose to ensure it falls within the 68-73 mm range.
• Assess the environmental conditions to determine if zinc-plated steel meets your corrosion resistance requirements.
• Ensure there is sufficient space around the hose connection to accommodate the toggle closure mechanism.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the clamp for signs of wear or loosening, especially in high-vibration environments. Do not overtighten the screw, as this may compromise the structural integrity of the hose or the clamp itself.
