Sierra Shields Stainless Steel Worm Gear Hose Clamps - Available in 9/16" to 7" Clamping Diameter

Sierra's Shields worm gear hose clamps are marine grade clamps built to secure hoses, wire, and cords aboard boats and in other demanding environments. Every clamp in the 18-710 line is manufactured from 316 stainless steel to resist the corrosion that saltwater and engine-bay moisture cause in lesser hardware, and each one uses a worm gear (screw and band) mechanism so the clamp can be tightened down to the exact diameter of the hose or bundle it is securing. This line is sold individually packaged, with each clamp's part number ending in the -2 suffix; buyers who do not need individual packaging can order the same clamp under the base part number without the suffix.

Because hose and fitting diameters vary widely across engines, drives, and plumbing runs, this clamp is offered across eight clamping ranges, from 9/16 inch up to 7 inches, identified by their SAE standard number. Selecting the correct size means matching the outside diameter of the hose (with the clamp in place) to the range printed on the part. Each clamp carries Sierra's standard parts warranty and is designed to meet or exceed the performance of the original hardware it replaces.
