The 3-1/2 in. Stainless Steel F-Series Clamp is a smooth-band hose clamp that applies uniform radial clamping pressure without the slotted band of a worm-drive clamp. Stainless steel — corrosion-resistant for general industrial and outdoor service. F-Series band clamps use a smooth, full-width band for broad, uniform load distribution — required for corrugated hose and silicone hose that worm-drive clamps would damage.

Key Features
- Smooth inner band prevents cutting or scoring of soft silicone, corrugated, or thin-wall hose
- Uniform circumferential clamping force — no point-load risk
- Stainless steel band for corrosion resistance
- Wider band distributes load over larger hose surface area than worm-drive clamps
- Specified for HVAC duct, turbocharger silicone hose, marine exhaust, and industrial expansion joints
Common Applications
HVAC duct and flexible connector sealing, automotive silicone intake and turbocharger hose, marine exhaust connections, industrial silicone hose assemblies, and any large-diameter or soft-hose connection where a worm-drive clamp's slotted band would damage the hose material.
