  ABA Ultra(TM) Hose Clamps Outperform T-Bolt Clamps!
  Cherry Valley, IL --- Load cell tests confirm that the non-perforated band construction of the ABA Ultra(TM) heavy-duty hose clamps from ABA of America, Inc. actually deliver higher clamping force than a T-Bolt clamp. ABA Ultra(TM) clamps can replace many other hose-sealing clamps - including perforated worm drive clamps, clamps with inner liners, and high torque clamps.
  The ABA Ultra(TM) housing is designed for extra strength with the entire clamp (band, screw, and housing) being made of high grade AISI 316 stainless steel to withstand even harsh environments. ABA Ultra(TM) has a fine thread pitch allowing more clamping force per screw turn (less torque applied means less wear and tear on the hose). The non-perforated band with rolled edges moves smoothly around the hose without cutting into it.
  Significant cost savings can also obtained by using ABA Ultra(TM) hose clamps instead of T-Bolt clamps due to the differences in the manufacturing process and material used. Also, the ABA Ultra(TM) clamps feature larger clamping ranges for each clamp, reducing the number of part numbers needed and the smooth band design helps extend hose life.
