T-Bolt Hose Clamps.

What are T-Bolt Hose Clamps?

T-bolt hose clamps are high-strength fasteners designed for secure hose attachment in high-pressure environments. As the most heavy-duty hose clamps offered by Accu, they deliver exceptional clamping force, making them essential for fluid and hydraulic applications where standard clamps may fail.

From industrial machinery to commercial espresso machines, t-bolt clamps provide reliable hose sealing under demanding conditions.

How T-Bolt Clamps Work

These t-bolt clamps utilise a robust bolt-based threaded fastening mechanism that tightens a steel band evenly around the hose, ensuring a secure and uniform seal. This prevents leaks and hose blowouts in pressurised systems.

The threaded t-bolt design allows for precise torque application, which is crucial in systems with fluctuating pressures or vibrations.

Materials T-Bolt Hose Clamps Are Made From

Accu's stainless steel t-bolt clamps are crafted from premium materials to ensure maximum durability and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel A2 is a general-purpose grade ideal for most environments, providing a strong balance between strength and resistance to oxidation. For harsher conditions, stainless steel A4 offers a marine-grade level of protection, making it suitable for use in saltwater or chemical-exposed environments.

T-Bolt Clamp Sizes and Types Available

Our range of t-bolt clamp sizes comes in a wide range of diameters to accommodate various hose sizes between 17mm to 265mm outer diameters. This variety supports their use in both small-scale and industrial-scale projects, ensuring compatibility across multiple applications.

FAQs

Q: What is a t-bolt clamp used for?

A: T-bolt clamps are used to secure hoses in high-pressure systems, commonly found in industrial machinery, automotive and food processing equipment. The force that they can apply exceeds alternatives such as our worm drive hose clamps.

Q: How do you size a t-bolt clamp?

A: First, measure the outside diameter of the hose after it is fitted onto the pipe or fitting. Choose a clamp with a size range that includes that measurement.

Q: How do you remove a t-bolt hose clamp?

A: To remove a T-Bolt clamp, use a spanner or socket wrench to loosen the bolt mechanism, then slide the clamp off the hose.

Q: Can you reuse t-bolt clamps?

A: Yes, you can reuse t-bolt clamps so long as you visually inspect them for any damage before reapplication. Make sure there is no damage to the threads or corrosion to the ring, which may interfere with creating a solid hold.
