• 4-bolt type clamp with 2 gripping fingers and 2 clamp sections
• Bolts in Boss™ clamps are designed to bend as they are tightened, this allows the clamp to conform to the hose outside diameter
• Always tighten bolts to their specified torque value
• Periodic re-tightening of bolts is required due to "cold flow" phenomenon present in all rubber hoses
• Boss™ clamps are for single use only, once removed they are to be discarded
• Recommended for steam service up to 450 deg F
• The bolts used in the boss interlocking clamps are not standard bolts
• They vary from standard bolts in their length, diameter, overall thread length and material hardness
• These bolts can be retorqued, but it is not recommended that the bolts or clamps be reused, as they are designed for a single bend only
• Torque values for clamps are based on dry bolts, the use of lubricant on bolts will adversely effect clamp performance
• Worn-out hose couplings can be dangerous
• They should be checked regularly and replace when necessary
• Each coupling user should review applications and add safety devices where indicated
