| I called them up discussing my application and they recommended Their "Safe Clamp" technology. Here is a description from their website ABA of America a.k.a. Norma Group They sent me two free samples to try out:
PN# = 42075, 304 Stainless, 2-5/16"- 3" (58-75mm)
PN# = 42065, 304 Stainless, 2" - 2-9/16" (50-65mm) I am currently using them on a 3-4 ply silicone hoses for my hard pipes. So far the samples are holding up very well. I noticed that they do not need to be re-tightened after a few weeks compared to the Breeze Clamps I am using on the rest of the hoses. They are compact, and can be tightened down with a very high clamp force. I use an 8mm socket to tighten them down. Even a very low clamping force goes a long way. I am testing them on a worse case scenario. I have some Injen hard lines with almost no bead at the end of the hoses. I installed the ABA clamps where the breeze clamps have failed. So far they have not come off or leaked since June of 08. What I really like about these clams is they are very compact compared to a t-bolt design. If you plan ahead on where the screw mechanism is when you install (clock) the clamps to hide them making a very clean look. Look at the other links on the website, I see a lot of clamps for a lot of special applications. Interesting to see what other companies are selling.
