About Measuring Hose and Tube Clamps
What's the best way to determine the clamp size you'll need? Simply measure the outside diameter of your hose with the fitting installed. Some clamps accommodate a range of sizes, so be sure the size you need falls in the middle of that range.

Build-Your-Own Worm-Drive Clamps for Firm Hose and Tube
Here's everything you need to make your own 3" diameter and larger custom-length worm-drive clamps. Cut a length of band from the continuous roll and attach a housing and a screw. Use a band splicer to attach two lengths of band for an even larger clamp. Clamps are not recommended for soft hose and tube, such as silicone. Do not exceed the maximum torque or clamps may be damaged.
410 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance.
301 stainless steel offers very good corrosion resistance.
Note: When choosing a clamp, measure the outside diameter of your hose or tube with the fitting installed.
