Worm drive hose clamps — also called screw-band or worm gear clamps — are the universal method for securing flexible hose to barb fittings, pipe stubs, and hose barb adapters across virtually every fluid handling application. A stainless steel or zinc-plated steel band with a threaded worm gear allows precise tension adjustment with a standard screwdriver or nut driver, creating a leak-free seal that can be retightened after installation as the hose seats and relaxes.
