All 316 Stainless Steel "Marine Grade" Hose Clamps (W5)
Equip your most critical connections with the ultimate in corrosion protection. Our W5 grade hose clamps are constructed entirely from 316 stainless steel—including the band, housing, and screw. Known as "marine grade" stainless, 316 contains molybdenum, an element that provides superior resistance to chlorides (like saltwater), harsh chemicals, and acids. This makes them the definitive choice for applications where 304 stainless steel is insufficient, ensuring maximum durability and a failure-resistant seal in the most aggressive environments.
Category Sub Description: Ideal for saltwater marine applications, chemical processing, wastewater treatment, and any coastal or high-corrosion industrial use. The all-316 construction ensures there are no weak points, protecting every part of the clamp from pitting and crevice corrosion. While 304 (W4) clamps are suitable for freshwater and general use, W5 clamps are the necessary upgrade for protecting critical systems exposed to salt spray, bilge water, or corrosive substances, offering the longest possible service life.
