Product Details
Stainless Steel T-Bolt Hose Clamp, 1 Piece by Trident®. Virtually all rubber hose compresses (cold flow) after installation of clamping device, resulting in an almost immediate torque loss that can exceed 80% of installation torque. Similarly, virtually all metal connections expand as a system heats up, and then contracts as the system cools. Conventional worm gear, T-bolt, and other clamps are passive, in that expansion or contraction of components cannot be compensated for with out re-tightening or loosening the clamps. This clamping system is an "active" clamping mechanism, which monitors and then compensates for the changes by actually changing diameter through a unique worm gear Belleville assembly.

Trident Marine Systems® was founded by Bill Shields in 1985 in the Pittsburg, PA area. Prior to running his own business, Bill had a career in the U.S. Coast Guard as an officer and search and rescue (SAR) pilot. This provided an intense experience in the marine environment, boat safety and the results of the lack of it. After working with family company Shield’s Rubber, he left and started his company that would become Trident Marine, a company with intense focus on marine hose quality, performance, durability, reliability, standard conformance and consistency. In other words, Trident was founded in the interest of long term safety for the boaters.
