  • Item Features
  • 2-bolt type clamp with 2 gripping fingers and 2 clamp sections
  • Bolts in Boss™ clamps are designed to bend as they are tightened, this allows the clamp to conform to the hose outside diameter
  • Always tighten bolts to their specified torque value
  • Periodic re-tightening of bolts is required due to "cold flow" phenomenon present in all rubber hoses
  • Boss™ clamps are for single use only, once removed they are to be discarded
  • Recommended for steam service up to 450 deg F
  • The bolts used in the boss interlocking clamps are not standard bolts
  • They vary from standard bolts in their length, diameter, overall thread length and material hardness
  • These bolts can be retorqued, but it is not recommended that the bolts or clamps be reused, as they are designed for a single bend only
  • When installing stainless steel bolts and nuts, the use of anti-seize or anti-galling lubricant is advised, a light coat is required on the bolts to prevent thread galling and artificial torque reading
  • Worn-out hose couplings can be dangerous
  • They should be checked regularly and replace when necessary
  • Each coupling user should review applications and add safety devices where indicated
  • Recommended torque rating in ft. lbs
