Atlantic Man. Hose Clamps: How to Choose the Right One

A practical guide to identifying the most effective clamping solution for your application.

Choosing the most suitable hose clamp is essential to ensure safety, sealing performance, and long-term durability. Every application has its own specific conditions — pressure, vibrations, hose material, operating environment — which require a clamping system designed to meet different needs. In this guide, we examine the key criteria to consider and the most commonly used types of clamps in the agricultural, industrial, and automotive sectors.

Pressure and Operating Conditions

The first parameter to evaluate is the pressure exerted on the hose. Applications characterized by high pressures, strong vibrations, or aggressive fluids require robust and stable fastening systems. Conversely, for lighter-duty uses, a simpler and more flexible solution is sufficient.

Hose Material and Construction

Rubber, PVC, spiral, or thin-walled hoses react differently to clamping. To prevent damage or crushing, it is essential to choose the type of clamp that best suits the hose’s shape and material.

Clamping Diameter

Effective clamping is only possible if the hose’s nominal diameter is measured accurately. A clamp that is too tight can cause deformations, while one that is too loose may lead to leaks and connection instability. Choosing the correct clamping range is therefore essential.

Operating Environment

Humidity, chemicals, brackish water, or corrosive atmospheres significantly affect the lifespan of the clamping system. In these cases, stainless steel — especially AISI 304 or 316 grades — provides greater durability and long-term reliability.

The Main Types of Atlantic Man. Clamps and Hose Clamps:

Heavy Duty Clamps

Heavy Duty Clamps are the ideal solution for large-diameter hoses and high-pressure applications.
The GOLD Heavy Duty Clamp from Atlantic Man., made of stainless steel with double reinforced slots and three-point welding, ensures a high level of sealing even in demanding conditions. Its corrosion resistance makes it ideal for applications involving water, fertilizers, or chemicals.

Screw Clamps

Screw Clamps are the most versatile and widely used.
The STANDARD Clamp, compliant with DIN 3017 and featuring a 12 mm band, is suitable for medium working pressures. It is commonly used in agricultural irrigation systems, automotive ducts, and standard industrial installations.

Wire Clamps

Designed for light-duty applications, wire clamps provide balanced clamping without damaging thin-walled or spiral hoses.
The Atlantic Man. Double-Wire Clamp, thanks to its screw closure mechanism, is perfectly suited for industrial suction systems and any setups that require flexibility and adaptability.
