EFC International - Standard Spring Band Constant Tension Clamps

Spring Band Clamps are self-tightening, sealing elements made from tempered spring band steel offering a high level of flexibility to ensure reliable, leak proof connection of a hose to a fitting

Re-torque and re-adjustment are not required after installation.
Maintains constant tension throughout all pressure and fluid systems of almost any application.
Leak-proof solution for applications, ranging from -40ºF - 392ºF

The standard Spring Band Clamp can be installed with pliers. Other tools specifically designed for the safe and efficient installation of the Standard Spring Band Clamp are also available.

Applications	N/A High quality standards enable these Spring Band Clamps to be accepted by all renowned automobile manufacturers. Auto system manufacturers and the hose industry, as well as more leading industrial companies and manufacturers use this type of connection. With an almost constant clamping force, standard Spring Band Clamps continuously adapt to the changing characteristics of hose and fitting. Consequently, they ensure non-leakage sealing at temperature ranges from approx.- 40 to +180 ºC (-40 to + 350 ºF). Some of the areas of application where Spring Band Clamps are used in automobiles: Fuel Return line Charge air Power-assisted steering Air intake Heating Thermostat Cooling A typical screw type clamp does not compensate for temperature and pressure changes and can allow a joint to leak or even "blow-off". Spring Band Clamps are the standard used by all major automotive manufacturers globally for sealing coolant connections.
Features and Benefits	N/A The original SBC (Spring Band Clamp) standard HC88 is the basis norm for many SBC standards or specifications such as DIN 3021.
