10PCS 70mm - 78mm Stainless Steel T-Bolt Clamps Turbo Intake Intercooler Clamp for 2-1/2" Hose

5 starIt's a hose clamp - what's to review?

New clamps!

The bolt and the nut are NOT stainless steel and rusted seized on my pool hoses. I was able to get them off, with penetrating oil and some heat, but the threads were too far gone to reuse. I bought these in 2020, so maybe they have upgraded them, but I would ask first.

Great price and fast delivery. Used them and many other sizes on all my boat hoses.

Was having leaks with standard radiator hose clamps. These solved the problems. Plan on getting more in different sizes.

I had to take apart all the intake plumbing on the Jackson Racing supercharger kit on my Miata to get to a busted throttle cable, and took the opportunity to replace the original worm-screw clamps with these. These t-bolt clamps look better, hold the hoses more securely, and don't damage the silicone like the originals do. Still have to keep a few worm-screw clamps for the hoses that have tight clearance with the hood, or I'd have replaced them all.A note on sizing: If you can, measure the outside diameter of the hose you're clamping to better judge what size clamp you'll need (yeah, the hoses flex so getting an accurate diameter is tough). The inner diameter sizing is helpful, but these seem to be sized for silicone hoses with 4-5 layers, and with thinner walled hoses (2-3 layers) you may need to go down a size. 70-78mm work on my 2 1/2" hoses, but they're thin-walled and have a lot of the t-bolt clear of the nut when they're tightened. 63-71mm would probably be a better fit for me in that application, but there's a little overlap between sizes, so if you're only off by one size they'll still work just fine.

Very strong well made perfect for my needs.

Work well, I highly recommend them
