Quick information links...
Hosepatch hydraulic hose repair clamps can be used in two different ways.
AS A PATCH
The clamp can be used as a patch for simple repairs. You place the clamps over the leakage location, ensuring the leak is placed centre of the clamp and then tighten the bolts. You’re then ready to work again. Use as a patch has its limitations and best suits pressures under 2000 psi (138 Bar) small leaks, where the hose is still in relatively good condition.
AS A JOINER
The advantages of using as a joiner are that condition isn’t important and can be used at pressures up to 6000 psi. (414 Bar)
AFTER REPAIR
Hose Patch clamps are designed as a temporary repair and are completely reusable. It is recommended to replace the damaged hose as soon as possible and return the clamp to the kit ready for its next use.
BEFORE
10 MINUTES LATER
Hosepatch hydraulic hose repair clamps can be used in two different ways.
Because it is a clamp and not a fixed fitting it can be used on a variety of hose types with different wall thicknesses. This offers a significant advantage over in field (reusable) fittings that are hose specific. As a clamp Hosepatch can be used on 2sn, R12 and R15 hoses. And as a joiner it can be used on all the above hoses, passing all testing standards. Internal sizing was based off 2sn crimp shells.
The lateral rib allows the clamp to be used as a patch on certain hoses while the internal ribs are wider and rounded so they aren’t sharp like a crimp fitting. This allows the clamp to seal on the outside rubber of the hose without cutting when used as a patch, however it will penetrate into the wire braid (spiral) when it is used as a joiner and has the internal support of the barb. This has other benefits as it means they can be used on hoses such as R7 Thermoplastic because of the thinner wall, where it clamps well but without cutting the hose.
The clamps are made from 316 stainless steel which has been specifically selected for its hardness to prevent bending when the clamp is tightened. Its anti-corrosion properties also make it suitable to be used in the marine industry.
Anodized grade 8.8 M8 bolts with a flat base are used in order to avoid using a washer (for easier install).
The use of grade 8.8 with the 316 stainless steel is intended to:
- Eliminate thread binding
- Make it easier to remove a broken bolt, and any thread striping should
be restricted to the bolt and not the clamp - The bolts were designed to be the first point of failure if overtightened,
as it is cheaper and easier to replace the bolts than the clamp
