The heavy duty hose clamp is constructed from several basic components. These include:

• steel strip (straight or with edges turned up for safety), 
• lock (consists of a bolt and hollow sleeves to reduce tensile forces), 
• bridge (separates the hose from the lock, which guarantees even tensile force and protection from damage).

Two types of material are used to manufacture heavy duty hose clamps: galvanized steel and stainless steel. Depending on the version chosen, the product will have slightly different purposes and properties. You can read more about these differences below.

But before we get to them, it is still worth mentioning the differences in the width of the strip. In this regard, you have several sizes to choose from, which are characterized by different strengths. As a general rule, the wider the strip you choose, the more resistant to mechanical forces the heavy duty hose clamp will be.
