Product Description
The A18 is a self-tightening hose clamp with steel spring-band construction that maintains secure clamping force through vibration and thermal cycling. This clamp secures flexible lines in aircraft systems without requiring periodic retorque, supporting leak-resistant joints in drain hoses and fluid line connections. The spring-band design automatically compensates for temperature variations and vibration encountered during flight operations.
Commonly installed near lighting assemblies and other system components where reliable hose retention is critical. Installation and positioning must follow aircraft maintenance manual specifications and verify compatibility with your aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog.
Please note: Product descriptions are provided for informational purposes. Always refer to your aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) to verify part compatibility and specifications.
