Shields Hose 18-720-2000 Marine Exhaust 3/4" T-Bolt Band Clamp Stainless Steel

The Shields Hose 18-720-2000 is a heavy-duty T-bolt band clamp designed specifically for marine exhaust and intake applications. Constructed from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel, this clamp delivers reliable performance in harsh marine environments, including below-waterline installations.

Key Features:

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• 3/4" band width provides robust clamping strength
• Full 360° clamping surface ensures even pressure distribution
• Extra-long 1/4" bolt with nylon insert locknut for secure fastening
• Designed to work with corrugated marine exhaust hose
• Suitable for exhaust, intake, and below-waterline applications

Installation: Torque to a maximum of 75 inch-pounds for optimal clamping force without damaging the hose. The T-bolt design allows for precise tightening and maintains consistent clamping pressure even under thermal cycling and vibration conditions common in marine environments.

This clamp is engineered for use with silicone and other marine-grade exhaust hoses, providing a secure, leak-free connection that withstands the demanding conditions of marine propulsion systems.
