Hayward HOSE CLAMP

The Hayward Hose Clamp is a high-strength mechanical fastener designed to create a leak-proof, high-pressure seal between flexible plumbing hoses and various pool equipment fittings, such as filter inlets and pump outlets. Manufactured from 300-series stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance, this clamp is engineered to withstand constant exposure to moisture, UV rays, and pool chemicals without rusting or losing its structural tension. Its primary mechanical function is to provide 360-degree radial compression, ensuring that the hose remains securely seated on the ribbed or barbed port even during the high-flow hydraulic surges typical of pump startup. The clamp features a precision-engineered worm-gear mechanism that allows for fine-tuned adjustment with standard tools, providing a customizable clamping force that prevents air leaks in suction lines or water leaks in return lines. Because of its durable construction, it resists the "set" or stretching that can occur with plastic alternatives, maintaining a constant grip over several seasons of operation. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the Hayward Hose Clamp is approximately 0.15 pounds in its retail protective packaging, while the actual dry weight of the individual metal clamp is roughly 0.08 pounds.
