DIN3017 German Hose Clamps combine precision engineering with superior reliability. Engineered for the most demanding applications, these Stainless Steel Hose Clips combine robust construction, intelligent design, and critical thermal compensation technology to deliver leak-free performance where it matters most.
Adhering strictly to the rigorous DIN3017 standard – a globally recognized benchmark for quality and performance in worm-drive hose clamps – these clamps are defined by their exceptional side-riveted hoop shells. This distinct construction method sets them apart, offering superior strength and durability compared to alternatives using spot-welded or folded bands.
The Power of Side-Riveted Construction: Built to Last
The defining feature of these German-engineered clamps is the robust side-riveted connection between the band ends and the housing (hoop shell). This method involves mechanically riveting the band securely to the housing through its sides:
Eliminates Weak Points: Unlike spot welds, which can be prone to cracking under stress or corrosion, the solid rivets provide a continuous, high-integrity mechanical bond. This significantly enhances the clamp's resistance to shear forces and vibrational stress.
Prevents Band Slippage: The rivets securely lock the band into the housing, preventing any slippage or loosening under pressure or during extreme temperature cycling. This ensures the clamp maintains its set torque consistently.
Optimized Versatility: 9mm & 12mm Widths
Understanding that one size doesn't fit all, these DIN3017 clamps are offered in two optimal widths: 9mm and 12mm. This strategic choice provides versatility:
9mm Clamps: Ideal for smaller diameter hoses or applications requiring a more compact clamping solution without sacrificing security. Offers excellent holding power for tighter spaces.
12mm Clamps: Provides a larger surface contact area, distributing pressure more evenly and offering maximum holding power for larger diameter hoses, high-pressure systems, or critical connections like turbocharger pipes or radiator hoses.
Conquering Temperature Extremes: The Compensation Piece Advantage
A critical innovation, especially for the 12mm wide models, is the availability of compensation pieces. Hoses expand and contract significantly with temperature fluctuations. Traditional clamps, once tightened at ambient temperature, can become either dangerously loose when the hose contracts in cold conditions or excessively tight, potentially damaging the hose, when it expands in high heat.
The optional compensation pieces address this fundamental challenge:
Maintains Consistent Clamping Force: These precision-engineered pieces are designed to be inserted alongside the standard clamp band within the housing.
Adapts to Hose Movement: As the hose expands or contracts due to temperature changes, the compensation piece allows the clamp band to adjust its position slightly relative to the worm gear, automatically compensating for the change in hose diameter.
Ensures Reliable Sealing: By maintaining near-optimal clamping force across a wide temperature range, the compensation piece prevents leaks caused by loosening in the cold and protects the hose from crushing or cutting in extreme heat. This is paramount for radiator systems, exhaust components, engine bays, and industrial processes experiencing thermal cycling.
Applications Demanding Peak Performance:
The combination of DIN3017 compliance, stainless steel construction, side-riveted strength, and thermal compensation makes these clamps indispensable across diverse sectors:
Automotive & Motorsport: Radiator hoses, intercooler piping, turbocharger connections, fuel lines, coolant systems (especially critical with modern high-temperature engines).
Heavy Machinery & Agriculture: Hydraulic systems, high-pressure coolant lines, air intake systems exposed to extreme environments.
Marine & Offshore: Engine cooling, fuel systems, bilge pumps, exposed deck piping – where saltwater corrosion and temperature swings are constant challenges.
Industrial Processing: Chemical transfer lines, steam lines, hot oil systems, food and beverage processing requiring hygiene and temperature resilience.
HVAC & Refrigeration: High-temperature heating lines, refrigerant piping subject to expansion/contraction cycles.
Availability & Specifications:
These premium DIN3017 Germany Type Stainless Steel Hose Clamps, including the 12mm models with optional compensation pieces, are now available through global industrial distributors and specialized automotive/marine suppliers.
