Features
- Gates heat sensitive shrink clamps are constructed of thermoplastic for preventing excellent strength and thermal resistance to prevent over or under-tightening.
- They have an operating temperature ranging from -40 to 302 degrees F.
- The brand's 32922 clamp can fit hoses of diameters ranging between 13/16 to 15/16 inches.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to change old shrink clamps?
For changing the old clamp, the user can melt the band using a soldering iron. It is important to note that using any other cutting device could potentially cause damage to the hose.
How to install Gates shrink clamps?
- Choose the right size of shrink clamp for your application.Ensure that the hose to be clamped is clean.
- Slide the shrink clamp onto the hose and position it in the desired location.
- Use a heat gun or another heat source to apply heat evenly to the shrink clamp.
- The clamp will shrink and tighten around the hose as it heats up. Keep applying heat until the clamp contracts and securely grips the hose.
- Allow the clamp to cool before applying any pressure to the clamped area.
- Inspect the installation procedure and ensure that the clamp is properly positioned and provides a secure connection after cooling down.
How to apply heat while installing these shrink clamps?
- Use a standard heat gun with the setting on high.
- Do not use an open flame to apply heat.
- Adhere to the safety procedures provided by the heat gun manufacturer.
- Avoid applying heat to one spot for too long. Keep the heat gun in motion continuously.
- Move the heat gun continuously around as much of the clamp's surface as possible, ensuring at least 1/3 of the surface is covered. While PowerGrip SB clamps are highly durable, excessive heat can cause them to melt.
- Continue apply heat until shrinking is complete. The printed information on the clamp will turn grey when enough heat has been applied.
- Finally, remove the heat source.
