On large exhaust hose connections, position clamps so the band fully covers the hose bead or fitting barb. Tighten to the fitting manufacturer's torque specification — do not overtighten, which can cut or collapse the hose. Re-torque after the first heat cycle on exhaust connections, as hose material may compress slightly. Inspect annually for corrosion, loosening, or hose deterioration. Never substitute zinc-plated (non-marine) clamps in marine applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eABA's all-stainless #40 clamp is the right choice for large-bore marine plumbing and exhaust connections where long-term reliability and corrosion resistance are non-negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WEST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43564087476260,"sku":"ABA-13676","price":12.56,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/8e0d1c97-7630-49a3-b78f-13ad976d6d31.png?v=1776447343","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/aba-40-stainless-steel-hose-clamp-2-3-aba-13676","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
