Gates PowerGrip™ SB Clamp

Sometimes, traditional hose clamps do not provide the level of sealing performance required for modern vehicle and industrial applications. The Gates PowerGrip™ SB Clamp offers a unique alternative by shrinking tightly around the hose when exposed to heat, helping to create a strong seal without the need for constant re-tightening. This clamp is designed for a clean, uniform appearance while stopping the risk of leaks caused by pressure changes or temperature fluctuations. Buy the Gates 32973 today.
