Cape Coral & Fort MyersProduct Technology
Six product lines engineered for secure, reliable connections across automotive, plumbing, HVAC, and marine applications.
Worm Gear Clamps
The backbone of hose clamping — precision-engineered worm gear clamps deliver consistent 360-degree sealing pressure for automotive, marine, and industrial applications.
T-Bolt Clamps
Heavy-duty T-bolt clamps provide superior clamping force for high-pressure and high-temperature connections, including turbo intercooler and heavy equipment hoses.
Snap Grip Clamps
Tool-free installation with the patented Snap Grip design. Constant-tension spring action maintains seal integrity through thermal expansion and contraction.
Cable Ties
Professional-grade cable ties engineered for bundling, securing, and organizing wiring and cables in automotive, industrial, and residential applications.
Duct Clamps
Purpose-built duct clamps for HVAC and dryer venting applications. Adjustable tension ensures secure connections on flexible and rigid ductwork.
Stainless Steel Construction
Premium stainless steel construction resists corrosion in harsh environments — ideal for marine, outdoor, and chemical-exposure applications across Southwest Florida.

How to Choose the Right Hose Clamp
Worm Gear vs. T-Bolt
Worm Gear Clamps: The most versatile option for general hose connections. Ideal for automotive coolant hoses, water lines, and garden applications. Adjustable with a standard screwdriver.
T-Bolt Clamps: Choose these for high-pressure or high-temperature applications like turbo intercooler piping, heavy equipment, and industrial hose connections. Superior clamping force and vibration resistance.
Sizing Your Clamp
Measure the OD: Measure the outside diameter of the hose or fitting at the connection point. The clamp range must include this measurement.
Band width matters: Wider bands distribute pressure more evenly and reduce the chance of cutting into soft hoses. Use wider bands for silicone and rubber hoses.
Material selection: Stainless steel for corrosion resistance outdoors or in marine environments. Carbon steel for cost-effective indoor applications.
