Product Name: Hydraulic Hose Clamp / HP Tubing Clamp (Part No. 10083517)

Description:
This component is a hydraulic hose clamp set specifically designed for securing high-pressure (HP) tubing and flexible hoses in waterjet cutting systems. The clamp provides a secure, vibration-resistant mounting solution that stabilises high-pressure fluid lines against the machine frame or motion system .

Manufactured from hardened stainless steel with durable polymer inserts, this clamp pair offers excellent corrosion protection, vibration dampening, and tube alignment stability, even under sustained pressures up to 60,000 psi (4,137 bar) . The two-piece design ensures a tight, non-slip grip that prevents line movement, reduces fatigue on threaded fittings, and maintains consistent water flow to the cutting head .

Applications:

• Securing 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch high-pressure (HP) tubing along the machine gantry or Z-axis slide 

• Stabilising hydraulic hoses between the intensifier pump and manifold assembly

• Mounting high-pressure water lines to the pump frame or chassis structure

• Suitable for KMT, FLOW, BFT, and WSI waterjet systems 

Features:

• Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Hardened stainless steel with polymer inserts resists rust in wet waterjet environments 

• Vibration Dampening: The elastomeric cushion insert absorbs pulsation from the intensifier pump, reducing stress on fittings 

• Precision Fit: Machined to exact tolerances for secure grip on standard HP tubing without crushing or deforming the pipe

• Two-Piece Design: Allows easy installation and removal without disconnecting the hose 

• Tube Alignment: Maintains proper routing and prevents line movement during high-pressure operation 

• Compatibility: Suitable for both 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch HP tubing configurations 

Maintenance:

Failure Diagnosis (When to Inspect/Replace):

• Loose Hose: If the clamped hose can be moved by hand, the clamp has lost its grip and must be tightened or replaced

• Visible Wear: Cracking, hardening, or deterioration of the polymer insert reduces vibration dampening effectiveness

• Corrosion: Rust on the stainless steel body or fastener hardware compromises clamping force

• Vibration Noise: Excessive rattling or humming from the HP lines indicates the clamp may be loose or missing

• Abrasion Damage: Wear marks on the hose surface at the clamping point indicate the cushion insert is worn or missing

Inspection and Replacement Guidelines:

• Full Depressurisation (Critical): Before any maintenance, place the main electrical disconnect in the OFF position, bleed down all high-pressure lines, and follow lockout/tagout procedures. Never service a pressurised HP line.

• Routine Visual Check: Include clamp inspection in your daily leak-check routine . Look for signs of wear, cracking of the polymer insert, or loosening of the fasteners.

• Torque Compliance: Tighten the clamp mounting bolts to the specific torque value listed in the equipment service manual. Over-tightening can crush the tubing; under-tightening allows movement.

• Proper Positioning: Ensure the clamp is positioned over a straight section of tubing, not over a bend, fitting, or weld.

• Replace Worn Inserts: If the polymer cushion is cracked, hardened, or missing, replace the entire clamp pair.

• Two-Piece Installation: When installing, separate the two clamp halves, position them around the hose, and secure with the provided bolts .

• Replace if Damaged: Replace the clamp immediately if the stainless steel body is cracked, the threads are stripped, or the polymer insert is deteriorated.
