Description
1.5″ T-Bolt Hose Clamps
Key Features
- Construction: 304 Stainless Steel band and T-bolt for corrosion resistance.
- Design: T-bolt mechanism provides high, uniform sealing pressure for reliable connections.
- Band: Features a 0.75″ (19mm) wide band with beveled edges to prevent hose damage.
- Hardware: Includes a durable steel T-bolt and a nylon insert self-locking nut.
- Mechanism: A floating bridge component ensures even clamping force around the entire hose circumference.
Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers
- SAE Size #28
- Banjo TC193
Compatibility & Fitment
- Application: Designed for 1.5″ nominal hose connections in high-pressure or high-vibration environments such as coolant lines, air intakes, and turbocharger systems.
- Effective Clamping Range: Please measure your hose’s outside diameter (O.D.) to ensure a proper fit. Common ranges for this size include:
- 1.57″ – 1.69″ (40mm – 43mm)
- 1.73″ – 2.00″ (44mm – 51mm)
- 1.93″ – 2.18″ (49mm – 55mm)
When to Replace
- Visible signs of rust, corrosion, or pitting on the existing clamp.
- The bolt or nut is stripped, preventing proper tightening.
- Persistent leaks or drips at the hose connection point.
- The clamp band is bent, cracked, or deformed.
- During routine replacement of hoses or connected components.
Installation Tips
- Ensure the hose and fitting surfaces are clean, dry, and free of oil or debris before installation.
- Position the clamp over the section of the hose that covers the fitting’s barb.
- Tighten the nut evenly until a secure, leak-proof seal is achieved.
- Do not overtighten, as this can damage the hose or the clamp threads. Adhere to torque specifications if available (typically up to 75-125 in-lbs).
- After several heat cycles, re-check the clamp’s tightness as hose materials may compress and settle.
