Recommendations
T-bolt Clamps are the industry standard and our recommendation for all connections except charge air coolers. They are the strongest, most reliable, and have the best cost-to-performance ratio of all the clamps we carry. It is critical to use the proper size to avoid problems.
Spring-Loaded T-Bolt Clamps are popular for charge air cooler connections, and look great any place they are installed. They can be used in place of T-Bolts if appearance is important, such as on show cars.
Constant-Torque Clamps are the best type available for charge air coolers, especially if your system is running at near max pressures.
Worm-gear Clamps are great for prototyping a new system, and can be used on the smaller sizes (3” ID or less) of black-rubber intake hoses. Do not use on silicone hoses.
Important Note: All types of hose clamps should be re-tightened after the first few weeks of use.
