Premium T-Bolt hose clamp with tongue bridge from Ideal Tridon, built to lock hoses in place with precision and lasting strength. The stainless steel band paired with a robust T-bolt delivers consistent, high-torque clamping force, even under heat, vibration, or pressure fluctuations that would loosen everyday clamps.
This clamp fits hoses from 2-7/8 in to 3-3/16 in, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications. With a 288 size, it provides a dependable, secure seal for automotive cooling lines, air intake hoses, and other hose assemblies where reliable performance matters most.
The tongue bridge design concentrates clamping pressure where it's needed most, reducing hose creep and ensuring a tight seal over time. The stainless steel band delivers excellent corrosion resistance, so this clamp stands up to engine bays, marine environments, and demanding workshop conditions without rusting or losing strength.

Use this clamp for radiator and heater hoses, turbo and intercooler connections, air intake piping, and other critical hose runs where a secure, leak-free seal is essential.
Installation tips: Verify the hose diameter falls within the 2-7/8 in to 3-3/16 in range. Position the clamp so the tongue engages the band smoothly, then tighten gradually with the appropriate driver or tool until the seating surface is snug and the hose is sealed without deforming. Always refer to system specs for the recommended torque and recheck for leaks after a test run.
