Well Water Systems

What is the function of hose clamps in a well water system?

Boshart's worm gear drive general purpose hose clamps are designed for sealing poly pipe to barbed insert fittings. The clamp makes both a positive watertight seal so the system will not leak and compresses the poly pipe into the serrations on the insert adapter to ensure a pull-off proof connection. In a water well installation or for direct burial of water lines, where maximum corrosion resistance is required, only the best All 300 Grade Stainless Steel clamps should be used to ensure that the clamp will last the lifetime of the system.

For maximum corrosion resistance use the 87-Series All 300 Grade Stainless Steel clamps. This series of clamps is marine grade and contains a high nickel content which provides strong corrosion resistance. This series is suitable for outdoor use with no shielding.

In summary, the function of hose clamps in a well water system is to:

  • Eliminate pull-off by double clamping
  • Provide a watertight seal every time due to high torque capabilities
