Ama-hose clamp asetshenziswa kakhulu ukubopha nokuvala amapayipi namapayipi kuma-fittings namapayipi. Ama-hose clamp asebenzisa i-worm drive athandwa kakhulu ngoba ayalungiseka, kulula ukuwasebenzisa futhi awadingi amathuluzi akhethekile—isikulufi, umshayeli we-nut noma i-socket wrench yikho konke okudingekayo ukufaka nokususa. I-captive screw/worm gear ihlangana nezikhala ebhendini ukuze kulungiswe ububanzi be-clamp phezu kobubanzi obubekiwe. Ibhendi ingakhululwa ngokugcwele (ivulwe) ukuze ama-hose clamp afakwe kumapayipi namapayipi asevele ekhona. Asetshenziswa futhi ezinhlotsheni ezahlukene zezinhlelo zokusebenza ezingezona eze-hose, njengokunamathisela noma ukuxhuma into eyodwa kwenye. Ama-hose clamp angasetshenziswa futhi futhi aziwa ngokuthi:

izibambo zokushayela izikelemu, izibambo zegiya lezikelemu, izibambo zezikulufo zezikelemu.

Usayizi we-hose clamp ubhekisela kububanzi bawo bokubopha, obubhalwe njengobubanzi obuncane nobuphezulu obungasetshenziswa, ngamasentimitha; amanye ama-clamp nawo achazwa usayizi wawo we-SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers). Ukuze uthole usayizi odingekayo, faka i-hose (noma i-tube) ku-fitting noma ipayipi (elandisa i-hose), ulinganise ububanzi bangaphandle be-hose, bese ukhetha i-clamp evumela lobo bubanzi cishe phakathi nobubanzi bayo. Uma umkhawulo wangaphandle we-hose ofakiwe waziwa, uhlukanise ngo-3.14 (pi) ukuze uguqule umjikelezo ube ububanzi.

Ama-clamp ajwayelekile ochungechunge lwepayipi avame kakhulu futhi atholakala ezimotweni nasezimbonini. Ububanzi obuncane be-clamp bungu-3/8″ kanti ubukhulu obujwayelekile bungu-8 7/16″. Anama-band abanzi angu-1/2″ kanye nezikulufo zekhanda ze-hex ezinezikhala ezingu-5/16″. Lawa ma-clamp ahlangabezana noma adlula izidingo ze-torque ze-SAE.

Ama-hose clamp amancane asetshenziswa ngamapayipi amancane anobubanzi kanye namapayipi afana nomoya, uketshezi kanye nemigqa kaphethiloli. Ububanzi obuncane bungu-7/32″ kanti ubukhulu bungu-1 3/4″. Amabhande anobubanzi obungu-5/16″ kanti isikulufu siyinhloko ye-hex enezikhala engu-1/4″. Usayizi wawo omncane uvumela ukufakwa ezindaweni ezivalekile.

Nakuba ama-hose clamps angaxhunywa kusukela ekuqaleni kuya ekugcineni ukuze kudalwe osayizi abakhethekile noma abakhulu, cabanga ukusebenzisa i-Create-A-Clamp esikhundleni salokho ukuze wenze ama-clamps afinyelela ku-16 ft ububanzi. Ama-Kits afaka i-roll engu-50 ft ye-banding ebanzi engu-1/2″ esikwa kalula ubude, ama-fasteners angu-20 (iziphetho ze-band ezinezikhala kanye nezindawo ezine-screw/worm gear), kanye nama-splices angu-10 okuhlanganisa ubude obufushane be-banding. Zonke izingxenye ziyinsimbi engagqwali kanye nama-screw ekhanda anezikhala angu-5/16″ ajwayelekile. Ngokungafani nezinye izinhlelo ze-banding/strapping, awekho amathuluzi akhethekile adingekayo ngaphandle kwama-tin snips kanye ne-screwdriver noma i-hex driver. Lawa ma-worm drive hose clamps angasuswa futhi aphinde afakwe kalula, noma enziwe abe mancane noma abe makhudlwana (anqunywe i-banding ukuze abe mancane; sebenzisa i-splice kanye ne-banding eyengeziwe ukuze abe makhudlwana).

Ama-clamp epayipi lensimbi engagqwali engaphelele, anconywa kakhulu ezisetshenziswa eziningi, ane-band yensimbi engagqwali; isikulufu esifakwe ipulasitiki kanye nendlu kunikeza ukumelana okuhle nokugqwala. Ukuze uthole ukumelana okuhle nokugqwala, khetha wonke ama-clamp ensimbi engagqwali, ane-band yensimbi engagqwali, isikulufu kanye nendlu. Lawa ma-clamp epayipi asezingeni eliphezulu enziwa ngumenzi wasekhaya.

Kuma-single barb fittings, beka i-hose clamp endaweni evulekile. Kuma-barb fittings amaningi, qiniseka ukuthi i-clamp ibekwe phezu kwama-barb. Ungadluli i-torque yokuqinisa enconyiwe ye-clamp.

Lezi zikhonkwane zamapayipi azikhuthazwa ukusetshenziswa ngamapayipi athambile, njenge-silicone, ngoba ipayipi lingakhishwa noma ligundwe yizikhala ezisebhendini. Futhi, qiniseka ukuthi i-clamp oyikhethayo ifanele ukusetshenziswa.
