Clamps

When your truck’s cooling, charge-air, or heater hoses demand a secure, leak-free connection, trust American Radiator to provide robust heavy-duty hose clamps engineered for durability and performance. Our precision clamps are designed for extreme duty applications—keeping hoses tightly sealed under vibration, pressure cycles, temperature swings, and heavy loads.

We offer a broad selection of stainless steel, worm-gear, T-bolt, and constant-tension clamps that meet OEM specifications across major brands like Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Volvo, Western Star, and International. Each clamp is corrosion-resistant, provides even pressure distribution, and resists slippage and fatigue over thousands of miles.

Because a failed hose clamp can lead to coolant or boost leaks, engine overheating, or system damage, we maintain high inventory levels and support fast replacements. For custom needs, our clamp kits and bend-to-fit solutions ensure you always have the right size for tight or awkward installations.

Trust American Radiator for quality hose clamps that deliver longevity, reliable sealing, and peace of mind across your heavy-duty hoses—keeping your cooling and airflow systems safe, tight, and dependable.

FAQ'S

What types of hose clamps do you stock for heavy-duty applications?
We offer T-bolt clamps, worm-drive clamps, constant-tension clamps, and crimp/eartype clamps—all built for high-pressure, high-temperature performance in trucking and industrial systems.

How do I select the correct clamp size for my hose?
Choose a clamp whose diameter range covers the hose’s outer diameter when installed. Also consider clamp width, material strength, and torque rating relative to the hose thickness and system pressure.

Are hose clamps reusable?
Some are reusable (like worm-drive and T-bolt clamps); others (such as one-time crimp or ear clamps) are single-use and should be replaced if removed to ensure reliable sealing.

What materials are your hose clamps made from?
Our clamps are typically manufactured from stainless steel or plated steel to resist corrosion, heat, and road salt—ensuring durability in harsh operating environments.

When should hose clamps be replaced?
Replace clamps when you remove hoses, if they no longer tighten fully, show signs of corrosion, cracking, or fatigue, or lose tension over time, as compromise can lead to leaks or hose failure.
