13734871 - Worm Drive Hose Clamp 1/4-5/8 Inch

Don't Let Leaks Ruin Your Weld

Every welder knows that a consistent flow of shielding gas is the difference between a perfect bead and a porosity-filled nightmare. The ESAB 13734871 Hose Clamp is your first line of defense against gas leaks at your regulator, wire feeder, or torch connections. Designed to fit the most common hose sizes used in the industry, this clamp adjusts from 1/4 inch to 5/8 inch, making it the perfect fit for your standard argon or mixed gas lines. Unlike cheap spring clamps that can lose tension over time, this worm drive clamp lets you crank down the tightness to exactly where you need it, ensuring a seal that stays put.

We've all been there—you're in the middle of a job, and you hear that faint hissing sound, or worse, your water cooler line pops off and sprays coolant everywhere. This simple, rugged piece of hardware prevents those headaches. The screw mechanism is easy to turn with whatever tool you have handy, be it a screwdriver or a nut driver, and it holds its position despite the vibrations and movement typical in a welding shop. It's built tough enough to be reused, so if you need to swap out a hose or change a fitting, you can simply loosen it up and tighten it back down on the new setup.

This clamp isn't just for gas; it's also ideal for TIG water cooler lines. A leak in a water-cooled torch system can burn out your torch head in seconds. Securing your lines with a high-quality ESAB clamp is cheap insurance for your expensive equipment. Keep a handful of these in your toolbox or parts bin. They are the kind of small essential that you don't think about until you desperately need one. Whether you are running a shop or a mobile rig, reliable hose connections are the foundation of a safe and efficient workspace.

Quick Fix, Long-Term Solution

Stop using zip ties or bailing wire to hold your hoses on. Upgrade to a proper mechanical connection. This clamp is designed to bite into the hose just enough to seal it without cutting the rubber, preserving the life of your leads and hoses. It's a small investment that pays off in saved gas and prevented downtime.
