Flexible Hose Clip Driver

7mm Hex Nut Flexible Shaft Rubber Grip

What is it and when do I use it?

The standard hose clamp - a slotted steel band tightened by a screw that engages the slots. It is the general-purpose choice for coolant, water and low-pressure air, and is what most original-equipment hose joints use. Use it for coolant, water and low-pressure air; for boost pipework step up to a T-bolt clamp.

How do I choose the right size?

Size to the outside diameter of the hose once fitted over the pipe, not to the hose bore. Clips are listed by adjustment range and your fitted diameter should sit around the middle of it - a clip at the very end of its travel either will not close far enough or has almost no thread engaged.

What is the difference between W1 and W4?

W4 stainless is the sensible choice for anything exposed to weather, coolant or road salt; W1 zinc plated is cheaper for dry indoor use.

When is it not the right clip?

On boost, intercooler and turbo pipework. A worm drive concentrates its force near the screw housing, its perforated band can bite into soft silicone, and it loses tension through heat cycling. Use a T-bolt clamp there.

How tight should it be?

Firm, not crushed. Compress the hose evenly against the pipe without the band biting in - over-tightening causes more leaks than under-tightening. Re-check after the first few heat cycles, because the joint beds in and a clip that felt tight cold usually needs a small nip.

Where should the clip sit?

Squarely over the section of hose supported by the pipe stub underneath, never overhanging the hose end and never on the curve of an elbow. If the pipe has a bead or barb, position the clip so the hose is pulled down behind it.
