This hose clamp secures a rubber or plastic hose to its fitting on your appliance, maintaining a tight, leak-resistant seal under vibration and pressure. Replace when the old clamp is rusted, bent, or no longer holds tension. What it does:
- Clamps around a hose to grip the fitting and seal the joint
- Helps prevent drips, leaks, and hose blow-off at the connection
- Restores secure clamping force when the original is worn or damaged
- Common symptoms: water at the connection, hose slipping off, visible corrosion or distortion
What's included:
Install notes:
- Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
- Slide clamp onto hose, seat hose fully on the fitting, then position clamp just behind the bead/raised lip
- Tighten or compress evenly with the appropriate tool; avoid overtightening that could damage the hose
- After reassembly, run a short test and inspect for leaks
