304 Stainless Steel Hose Clamps with Nickel-Plated Steel Screw
Explore our hybrid-construction hose clamps, engineered for a smart balance of performance and economy. These clamps feature a premium 304 stainless steel band and housing, providing excellent corrosion and rust resistance for the parts in direct contact with the hose and environment. They are paired with a high-strength, carbon steel screw that is finished with a bright nickel plating for wear resistance and a clean, aesthetic appearance. This combination is a step-up from standard zinc-plated (W1) clamps, ideal for general-purpose use where the strength and durability of the 304 stainless band are the primary requirements.
This clamp configuration is perfectly suited for plumbing, automotive, and indoor industrial applications where moisture exposure is moderate. The 304 stainless band ensures a long service life and prevents rust, while the nickel-plated steel screw provides high torque and a hard, wear-resistant surface. While the screw does not offer the same sacrificial protection as zinc in harsh outdoor environments, the nickel plating provides a durable barrier, making these clamps a reliable and cost-effective choice for less critical, controlled-environment applications.
