Gates® Powergrip® SB Clamp

Designed for your hose assemblies, Gates® PowerGrip® SB Clamps are maintenance-free, durable hose clamps that retain dynamic tension for any shape of hose and housing, even on out-of-round fittings and applications, to reliably stop leaks without the need for re-tightening. The environmentally-friendly PowerGrip® SB clamps are designed for a secure, tight fit in extreme operating temperatures to eliminate antifreeze leaks and groundwater contamination.
Special Features:

  • Made of heat-sensitive thermoplastic with a memory to prevent over- or under-tightening.
  • Conform to any shape of hose and housing, even out-of-round fittings.
  • Wider sealing area entraps connector bead.
  • Can be used with all brands of silicone hose.
  • Temperature Range: -40°C to +150°C (-40°F to +302°F)
  • Installation: Just Add Heat! Easily installed with an ordinary heat gun

How To Install A Gates® Powergrip® SB Hose Clamp

STEP ONE: Be sure vehicle engine is turned off and has cooled down.

STEP TWO: Drain Coolant & then remove old hoses.

STEP THREE: Clean metal stems with wire brush.

STEP FOUR: Remove clamp from brace by squeezing, then folding the brace in half and removing it.

STEP FIVE: Place clamps over each end of new hose & position over fitting.

STEP SIX: Slide clamp over top of fitting bead. Be sure to position so the print on clamp is facing up and in full view.

STEP SEVEN: Apply heat as follows:

  • Use standard heat gun with settings on high.
  • Do not use open flame to apply heat.
  • Do not apply heat to one spot too long. Move gun continuously.
  • Continue until shrinking is complete.

STEP EIGHT: Check connections to be sure a good seal was made by trying to turn the hose.

STEP NINE: Replace Coolant

STEP TEN: Start engine and check for leaks. If leaks appear, apply more heat to clamp.

Maintenance-Free Hose Connection

Stop cold water leaks with a unique device that replaces conventional hose clamps in vehicle cooling system applications. The PowerGrip SB clamp is made from heat shrinkable thermoplastic material that provides a dynamic seal. No need for maintenance. This clamp never needs re-tightening and it is resistant to all automotive fluids.

How To Remove A Powergrip® SB Hose Clamp

Gates® offers a Clamp Removal Tool (Part# 91215) specifically engineered for the job. This simple, one-step tool easily slices off any size Gates® Powergrip® Hose Clamp from hoses. Just hook the ends under the edges of the clamp and squeeze the handles together. The tool cleanly cuts through the clamp without damaging or weakening the hose. Peel the sliced clamp away, and remove the hose!
