Shields Hose 18-720-3000 Marine Exhaust T-Bolt Hose Clamp 3/4" Band 316 Stainless Steel

The Shields Hose 18-720-3000 is a heavy-duty T-bolt hose clamp designed specifically for marine exhaust and intake applications, including below-waterline installations. Constructed from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel, this clamp provides superior durability in harsh marine environments where saltwater and moisture are constant challenges.

Key Features:

• Premium 316 stainless steel construction for maximum corrosion resistance
• 3/4" wide band provides full 360° clamping surface for secure, leak-free connection
• Extra-long 1/4" diameter bolt with nylon insert locknut prevents loosening from vibration
• Specifically designed to work with corrugated marine exhaust hose
• Suitable for exhaust systems, intake applications, and below-waterline installations
• Maximum recommended torque: 75 inch-pounds

This T-bolt clamp delivers the high clamping force needed for marine exhaust systems while maintaining even pressure distribution around the entire hose circumference. The wide band design prevents hose damage and provides a more secure connection than standard worm-drive clamps, making it ideal for demanding marine applications where reliability is critical.
