Measure the hose outside diameter where the clamp sits, over the barb or cuff rather than on bare hose. A clamp is specified by a range, and the right choice puts your diameter comfortably in the middle of that range — near the bottom there is very little band left inside the housing and it can pull through under load, while at the very top the band is barely engaged in the screw track.

Note whether the clamp you removed was lined. A lined clamp has a smooth band behind the perforated screw track so it grips evenly; an unlined one presses its slot pattern into the hose, and each impression is a stress concentration that eventually splits a pressure hose or collapses a vacuum one. If the original was lined, replace it with a lined clamp.

Position is part of getting it right. Clamps go on the barb or the cuff, never on unsupported hose — a clamp on bare hose crushes the bore and cannot seal against anything rigid.

Tighten firm rather than maximum. Over-tightening cuts into the hose and causes the failure the clamp was meant to prevent; the band needs only to stop the hose turning on its barb by hand.

Because the description is generic and this clamp is used in several places, call us on 763-535-0770 with your model, serial number and the measured diameter and we will confirm which clamp is correct rather than leaving you to match it from a diagram.

How do I measure for the right clamp?

Measure the hose outside diameter where the clamp will sit, over the barb or cuff rather than on bare hose. Clamps are specified by a range, and you want your diameter comfortably in the middle — near the bottom the band can pull through under load, and at the top it is barely engaged in the screw track.

Does it matter whether the clamp is lined?

Yes. A lined clamp grips evenly through a smooth band; an unlined one presses its slot pattern into the hose and each impression is a stress concentration that eventually splits a pressure hose or collapses a vacuum one. If the clamp you removed was lined, replace it with a lined one.
