Proper Type & Quality of Under Hood Hose Clamps

[tjonesdfw]

I've heard several guys talk about the proper hose clamps and constant tension clamps for under hood hoses. Several on my truck are clearly some auto parts junk and I'd like to replace with the correct style clamps when I install all new hoses. Appreciate any advice you guys may have.

These are supposed to create twice the clamp force of parts store type. I bought two orders of these but haven't tried one yet.

Say which TM is the picture of the hose in and it will have a part number. Put that part number into PartTarget and get the exact specifics then can use that NSN and or MFG part number to get the parts she was built with.
With those numbers and google and eBay you can get exact parts.

Here is description of the two upper radiator hose clamps.
Product Details | HOSE CLAMP
4730-00-204-3491 A clamp in which the body (band or wire) completely encircles an item and distributes a relatively even amount of pressure throughout the entire 360 degrees (6.282 radians) of the periphery of the item to be compressed. Its compression quality is dependent upon an integral screw mechanism, (screw, bolt spring compression and the like mechanical fasteners), or it may be applied by a device not integral with the clamp itself. It is specifically designed to prevent leakage between a hose and its attaching connection(s) when the body of the clamp is round or circular. For square, rectangular, or irregularly shaped items, see CLAMP, HOSE, SPECIAL-SHAPED. Excludes CLAMP, ELECTRICAL; CLAMP, LOOP; CLAMP, FIRE HOSE, SHUTOFF; FERRULE (as modified); and HAND SCREW.

As You may read here these are made by many and they all must comply with original design. Even Navistar makes them so You have to shop online

I always liked best the originals on all my cars.
Corbin Style Spring Wire Heater Radiator Hose Clamps old style spring wire hose clamps.
Dad ground a pair of pliers for them I still have.
I do not know why they would be discarded in favor of the new style clamps but the Corbins were best.
If there was a leak it was because the hose was rotten.

The HMMWV is no different than any automotive application, any quality worm gear clamp will do the job no problem, unless for some reason you go to silicone hoses then you should use T-Bolt clamps.
