316 SS Solid Band Hose Clamps - Size 88

These 316 stainless ABA hose clamps supersede the 316 stainless AWAB hose clamps Fisheries has carried.
ABA owns and manufactures both the ABA and the AWAB hose clamp brands in the same factory. They are identical in every way.

ABA all-316 SS Solid Band hose clamps are used where dependability is essential. You can confidently choose this clamp where a clamp failure could otherwise lead to damage or loss of your vessel.

The ABA clamp combines 316 SS corrosion resistance and strength into a solid smooth band with a properly pitched 316 SS screw that eliminates loosening due to vibration.
ABA 316 SS clamps are the strongest and most corrosion resistant screw clamps available.

• No perforations in the band to minimize hose damage
• Smooth interior surface
• Rolled up band edges to minimize hose damage
• Acid resistant
• Vibration-proof 6° thread pitch
• Hex head drive worm screw 9/32" (7mm) across flats
• Band width is 1/2"



Heavy on the technical side...
Alloy 316 Stainless Steel is an exceptionally corrosion resistant stainless steel alloy with properties that make it ideal for use in corrosive environments.

Most other 300-series stainless alloys are just Chrome-Nickel alloys, but 316 has 3% Molybdenum added. This added alloying element increases its resistance to crevice corrosion and stress-cracking corrosion, and reduces its ability to be magnetized.

316 stainless is an ideal material for marine, chemical, wastewater, and other harsh environments. The higher cost of the material is more than offset by significantly longer service life and a negligible failure rate.
