Spring-Loaded T-Bolt Clamps for Hot Hoses
A fixed clamp is tightened once. A hot hose does not stay the same size. Silicone and charge-air hoses soften, grow and then shrink as the line cycles. When the hose contracts, a rigid band can lose the load that was there at assembly, and the joint weeps.
A spring-loaded T-bolt puts a spring in the load path. As the hose moves, the spring keeps tension on the band without asking someone to retighten it after the first heat cycle. That is the usual duty for turbo inlets, charge-air ducts and other connections that see both heat and vibration.
The YTB spring-loaded T-bolt covers this service. Where the diameter or the load is higher, the HYTB heavy-duty spring-loaded clamp uses the same idea with a stronger band. Send hose material, outside diameter, temperature and pressure so the range and the spring can be matched.
