PLAIN BAND CLAMPS ABA SAFE 1 Extra strong one-piece pressed housing 1 2 Smooth inner band The flexible clamp ABA Safe™ utilizes the flexibility of the hose (rubber) and protects soft hoses against damage. The profile beads increase the clamp pressure locally, which means the clamp can also be used for plastic piping that is relatively resistant to deformation. Safe™ clamp provides the clamping force needed for an effective joint. Advantages at a glance • Protect soft hoses from damage • Insert made of stainless steel in all cases • Every clamp is date stamped for traceability Typical applications • Plastic ducts or soft hose. ABA Safe Aluzink S20 • The band is made of Aluzink for added corrosion resistance this gives three times the protection offered by conventional galavnized steel ABA Safe Stainless S40 • All parts are made of SS 2333/AISI 304 stainless steel • Every clamp is date stamped for traceabilityThis not only ensures premium corrosion resistance, it also prevents abrasion caused by using different material grades.

Illustration 1. On tightening, the wave-shaped band causes maximum compression of the rubber at the two beads. The rubber is squeezed inwards towards the middle and outwards towards the edges. As the rubber between the two beads is only marginally affected it retains its elasticity and acts as an ”O” ring. Illustration 2. On heating the band the ”O” ring flattens out. As it cools down it will assume its original shape and seal against the end fitting. The design of the Safe™ clamp makes it particularly suitable for soft hoses with relatively thick walls. Plastic piping that is relatively resistant...
