I just broke a constant-tension clamp on my vehicle, and have a few others missing including some horrible wire hose clamps, and was just looking for a replacement really and I have discovered there is a whole world of debate on clamp types haha! Still, pretty interesting and these t-bolt ones seem like a preferable option to many, and easier to use than the constant tension.
If you can get by with single use. I'd recommend Stepless Ear Clamps over using Worm Clamps, since it wears more evenly than worm clamps. As for the T-Clamps, I'd recommend spring tensioned T-Clamps instead since it holds better with temperature fluctuations.
I just used some t bolt clamps for the first time and I can’t tell when it’s tight enough. Im used to feeling tension like you do with the worm clamps. How do i know when it’s tight enough???
Try to spin the hose with the clamp tightened down. If you have any movement it's not tight enough. I would suggest using a nut driver not a ratchet so you can feel how tight it is

Good write up, going with T-bolts for the intercooler piping on my engine, thank you.

Notice also that the edges are not flat - they have a tiny flange that will keep the clamp from digging into the hose! - T-bolt clamps that is.
Would be good to know difference between the tension clamps found on many cars. Ones that you squeeze together. Ring or flat types. Good or bad…
exactly what i needed to know, much appreciated. subbed
cool
Constant pressure clamps is the only way to go!
Constant tension spring, locking, and T bolt clamps exist
Nice video. Thanks. What do you think about a crimp clamp?
they work just depends on the location if you have a tight spot to get a clamp into
Great video.
thanks for watching
Great video! Thanks!!
Thanks for watching
Did you know you can get worm drives that are not serated and do less damage to the hose ? (especially with a little rubber grease added)
Switche all my worm hose clamps to t-bolt on my air hoses. No more leaks for me.
nice!
Hey What’s the smallest diameter T Ball can I get . I have a hydraulic lines 5/8”-1” diameter. Thank you nice video

Thanks, I'm adding 4 t-bolt clamps to my new hoses but I have no clue what size I need.
thanks for watching
Can you open the T-bolt clamp, in the case where you don't want to disconnect the hose from the fitting?
I searched and found another video that shows you can.
yes you sure can
Good Video.
Thanks!
Thank you very much
You are welcome
