What is 'compression set' and how do these clamps help?

Compression set is when a hose permanently deforms after being under constant pressure or heat. These clamps use a spring action band to maintain consistent tension, which helps prevent the hose from permanently deforming and losing its seal over time.

Are these clamps suitable for all types of hoses?

These clamps are specifically designed to work well with silicone and rubber hoses, which are prone to expansion and contraction. The flanged edges also help protect softer hose materials.

What makes these 'constant tension' clamps different from standard worm gear clamps?

Standard worm gear clamps can loosen as hoses expand and contract with temperature changes. Constant tension clamps have a spring mechanism that actively adjusts to maintain a consistent clamping force, ensuring a more reliable seal under varying conditions.

About this part

Product Details

The convoluted spring action band on these Turbosmart Turbo-Seal Tension Clamps is designed to actively manage the expansion and contraction that silicone and rubber hoses experience due to heat cycles. This constant tension helps maintain a reliable seal, even as hoses deform over time or under pressure. They are a solid choice for securing silicone couplers and pipes in demanding engine bay environments.

These clamps feature a dual bead inner shell that concentrates sealing force for a more effective grip. The flanged edges are also a thoughtful touch, helping to protect softer hose materials from damage during installation and while under tension. This design helps increase the service life of your hoses by reducing stress and preventing issues like compression set.
