I really enjoy technical documentaries that genuinely explain something from the ground up with good practical demos.

Spoken like a man who never repaired a gas line temporarily with a 6$ gas station hose clamp that became a permanent fix. A hose clamp quickly easily and cheaply prevented me from pushing my mini bike for 6 miles.
I think he's trying to depict its flexibility (it can loosen a bit) in a dynamic system (as he is talking about it when showing the animation) rather than trying to show how it clamps.
I once fixed my car's steering rack boot with a hose clamp. And after getting a brake job, the mechanic said that I'm smart and pretty resourceful for doing that.
shoutout to the automotive industry for innovating with such revolutionary ideas like "injection molded plastic parts on and around the engine" to make a 3% increase in profits by not having to use metal hose clamps in pipe fittings
I love "injection molded plastic parts on and around the engine" It's so awesome when they look like this 18:53 after 10 - 15 years, and so much fun when a plastic coolant connection fails suddenly and pops off!
@@volvo09 i mean it's hardly a problem really, intake manifolds, valve covers, oil pans, fuel lines, coolant lines; they can all be plastic! you'll replace the car in 3 years anyway, right?
Then at the end of the day the car is so luxurious and has gone through so much markup that it costs tens of thousands of dollars more than anyone could possibly afford to pay in cash without having an executive or founder job. The internals are still plastic and low quality though,
Easily removed. By totally obliterating the rusty clamp and replacing by a new one. Have done that. Many times. These "historical" split pin design is horrible. In theory, nice, but in practice horrible. The screw/band hose clamps can and are reused without problems. Even when a bit rusty. As long as they are not mechanically damaged, they do the job just fine.
At 13:57 I think the animation is wrong. The ears have to be pinched together to get the clamp on the tube and when it is released the clamp tightens. Still very nice video.
9:34 This video clip is specifically a Norma Accuseal exhaust clamp being formed for anyone wondering. Mechanically similar to a t-bolt clamp but much more rigid and isn't stepless. Great video! What surprised me the most is how the companies that invented these clamp types decades ago are still the major manufacturers such as Breeze, ABA, Oetiker, etc.
they probably aren't much in use any more, but the clamps that I hated with a passion, were the wire ones that had two ends of the wire sticking out. you had to have a special tool to compress them in order to get them onto the hose and pipe. they were used a lot in Older cars , and appliances like washing machines and dish washers. you could use pliers but they always seemed to slip off of the clamp 5 times before you got the clamp over the hose. I used to repair older appliances and my partner and I had classic cars from the 40's 50's and the 70's that extensively used these clamps. when we had to replace a hose I would always replace the wire clamps with the worm gear clamps. it saved a lot of time and head Aches
One feature of the threaded type that has saved my ass on multiple occasions is the ability to string 2 or more of them in line to accommodate a bigger size of "hose" or whatever you are clamping around. On a similar thought is the fact you can use a clamp that is way too big if it is threaded enough and just cut off the excess to make it look nice. I remember tightening one once and coming up with the genius thought that if I get the proper bit for the drill or impact gun then I would probably save a lot of time and effort not having to turn 6 inches of thread by hand anymore, lol. Who knows how many meters of thread I spun by hand before coming up with that bright idea, and then how many more before actually getting the bit, heh.
The worm drive hose clip was invented over 100 years ago by Commander Lumley Robinson and to this day the company he founded, Jubilee® Clips. in 1935, the year of the 25th Jubilee for the coronation of King George V & Queen Mary. They still produces hose clamps of the highest quality in the UK, in its factory in Gillingham, Kent and have been known as Jubilee clips in the UK since 1935- and New Zealand where I was told this account while working with Pommie fitter in 1964 - 60 years ago.
Dude, your voice is one of the most pleasant on RUclips, and your topics are so up my alley it's crazy. Comprehensive video of the complete history of hose clamps? Yes, please.
Requesting a video like this on (1) wood saws, and (2) sandpaper. I have had so much trouble finding good info on the history and development of those simple carpentry tools.
Good video:) The end reminded me of shock in discovering my wife’s 2017 x5’s entire intake manifold was plastic! And yes, it has already warped from its proximity to exhaust.
I love his videos , the history, the in depth, and wonderful production. It’s a shame the algorithm hasn’t done him justice. Should be well over a million in my humble opinion.
Great Video. I never thought I'd learn so much about hose clamps.... or even that there was this much to learn about hose clamps... and now I realize that there's probably a whole lot more to learn abut them too.
Try plumbing warehouses (the kind that also sells bulk drinking water piping), there's a large chain of them in my country that stocks those clamps in all shapes and sizes.
@@TheLukasDirector Some don't, I work at one and we only stock 2 sizes of worm gear clamps, used in dishwasher drain connections. Auto parts stores are a bit more reliable in having stock of multiple sizes (but if you're willing to wait a week, my store can source just about any hose clamp out there)
@13:54 This Animation was like a fever dream... The animation intends to show it expanding when in reality it would be contracting and vice versa 😑 In fact, quite a few of those animations get their intended animations wrong which is a bit baffling considering how simple they technically are 🤨
Plastic is plastic. It’s a wonderful material for certain applications but not a substitute for its metal clamp counterpart. But just like everything else, things are not made like they used to be.
Wow I thought that was going to be boring but it absolutely wasn’t . Interesting stuff that I’ve always used but now understand much better . Only decent overview of this important subject I’ve ever seen .. nice work
Nici video, i workt at tha ABA plant in ter-apel in the netherland. As a mechanic frm 1986 until the end in 2009. Build the automatic machine s for the complete range of the ABA hoseclamps. Now it is Norma hoseclamps, they make now the brand ABA of sweden hoseclamps. I stil using them.
The mid-drive electric motor on my eBike is retained in place via a large hose clamp (and a few massive zip ties). While building it I considered it a cheesy solution, but amazingly It has lasted 6 years so far! Incredible invention IMO.
Excellent vid thx. Noted the graphic at 13:48 of the Spring Hose Clamp made me do a triple take - the tabs move with the wrong portion of the clamp during expansion and contraction. Made my brain hurt for a moment there ; )
There is a mistake in the animation at 6:22. The housing of the screw should be attached to the end of the metal binding so that the clamp will close and not just revolve!
Another fantastic video, thorough and concise as always. I really appreciate your refusal to "dumb down" your material for broader appeal. You know your audience and you've continued to deliver on the original format that brought us here. Thank you. Regarding this video specifically, I wonder if the "Clamptite" wire clamp tool would have had a place anywhere in this story? I know it has little if any presence in the industrial/manufacturing world, but it's a unique tool with wide application and surprising performance. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
I work in the oil industry with ROVs which are unmanned submersibles. We use the type f in large numbers, not to secure hoses but attach equipment to the vehicle. The likes of cameras and sensors. Far prefer hoses clamps that dont have holes but jubilee type which have a series of grooves and are therefore much stronger.
I may have blinked and missed it, but did you cover Constant Torque designs? Not the same as Constant Tension, the Constant Torque style of clamp can apply to both the worm drive and the T-bolt. This subclass utilities a spring between the clamp body and the tensioning device. The T-bolt variety will generally utilize a spiral-wound/coil type spring. These are commonly used in turbocharger air piping applications, and their equivalents, where wide temperature variations and vibrations are a factor. The worm drive type will generally use a stack of Belleville-style washers between the fastener head and clamp body, and will integrate a designed amount of free endplay prior to installation, allowing for the worm to move slightly inside of the clamp body as the spring allows. These are often used in applications where a wide operating temperature range is expected. The advantage of having a spring between the fastener head and the clamp body, along with that integrated amount play ability in the case of the worm, is that as the system expands and contracts, a relatively consistant/Constant amount of clamping Torque can remain on the joint. One real-world example of where these are often used is in cooling systems, where a standard worm clamp may either cause cold-leaks from insufficient Torque on a cold joint, or suffer clamp or hose damage from thermal expansion when set tight enough to seal when cold. Silicone heater hoses on heavy equipment and on-highway trucks often use these. In some applications, their ability to provide for easy installation and high clamp load can be preferred to the Constant Tension style, where in order to get higher clamp loads, you necessarily increase the difficulty of installation and/or removal without special tooling.
Only one type forgotten, the constant tension hose clamp used on the Cummins diesel engine in my boat. It is like a traditional hose clamp, but with a large spring under the screw and made extra heavy duty.
I'm happy to watch this on saturday night. Great info. I thought it was only gonna be about worm drive clamps. I don't like those on cars. They leak over time.
Everyone had summer jobs in those days. Clark Gable was a lifeguard, Rita Hayworth worked at the phone company, Valentino honed his craft with the ladies as a cable guy and delivering pizzas...
10:45 The Marx Bros were men of many tallants, enlightening and gratifing to know that designing hose clamps were among those tallants. "Night at the Oprah", "Day at the Reces", "Afternoon in the Machine Shop"? 10:45 10:45 10:45
Life in modern society is life surrounded by objects that have decades or centuries of history and innovation. Damn near everything you touch was once new technology. _Everything_ is a triumph.
I prefer the type-F clamps. The spring clamps will cut you if you brush by them. The locking ear clamps are really one-time use. The plastic fittings are easy to put together but tend to get stuck together and end up breaking when taking them apart.
Made me think, the seemingly SIMPLE “hose clap” is the modern horse 🐎 shoe nail. The battle was lost ‘cause the KING was lost because the King’s horse 🐎 was lost ! The horse was lost ‘cause the horse shoe was lost on account a horse 🐴 shoe nail went missing !!!
If manufacturers were transparent and trustworthy enough to inform me of the percentage of plastics vs metal parts their car is made up of, and they told me the full metal motor is 5% more expensive than the plastic hybrid one, I would say it's worth the cost. Plastic is fantastic for cheapness, but I fear we're really shovelling all that cost up into the future and it's piling up nice and high in the environment.
@@denisl2760 I agree, although they could make programmed obsolescence out of any material, my point is that plastic just gets thrown out even by recycling facilities, because it's worthless.
@@allthe1 steel parts will still be easily replaceable even if they fail plastic not so much, you try to disassemble other components to get to your part and all the plastic starts disintegrating
Another seemingly mundane topic you have made captivating, keep them coming. Thank you. Maybe you can show my humdrum biography someday and make it seam action packed! Cheers
I *love* worm drive clamps,and don't always use them for their intended purpose. I have clamped large paint scrapers to the end of a long pole with a couple of clamps,and used the resulting tool for things like scraping the remains of hornet nests off a wall without the need for a ladder.
Updoot for Futurama reference. I annoyed lots of people at work with that line back in the day. Or they just thought I was weird for laughing to myself about it.
Worm drive clamps are a bane. I've had to use these for decades. As a rookie you tighten them down, go a bit more.... and the teeth are distorted and it's no longer working. There should be a screwdriver torque control that clicks instead of strips -- but what's the proper torque? On boats like my sailboat all the thruhulls connect the ball valves to hoses with these things. They're used in pairs. They work until they don't and the boat sinks. There is a clear need for better hose clamps. I've found stainless steel V Band (Marmen) clamps on Amazon for $21. A worm drive clamp same 1.5" diameter stainless steel is about $5. So 4x price. For my boat I think it would be worth having one bog standard clamp and one V Band for key fittings that are opened most often. And yep Wikipedia says "The Marman clamp was first produced by Herbert Marx, better known by his stage name Zeppo Marx;[2][7] it was manufactured by his company, Marman Products from the 1930s.[8]"
there are torque specs and tools to torque worm drives. bleed air start machines push 60psi and enormous flow to start larger turbines and are connected with hoses that are sealed with worm drive clamps tightened to 8in/lbs on the ones i tinker on
You are applying far to much torque, or you are using the cheapest of clamps. Remember. Your lack of education does not change the complexities of the world around you.
Gee you forgot to mention my favorite clamp: Snap loc, a worm drive clamp that features a toggle feature that makes installation and removal easy. My least favorite clamp: Punch lock, though not a hose clamp but is used to fasten chairs onto a chairlift cable.
Fascinating. Congratulations. _LIKE_-d! ... However, you proffer the briefest attention to wound wire seizing which I think is short shrift to the technology of ropemaking and rope-tying, having a historic provenance of at least _30,000 years._ Yes, that number is correct. In general, any and every application of any belay or attachment method had its analogy in rope and wire, used and refined for thousands of years -- until about only a century ago. Gone but not forgotten? On the other end of the scale, the very cleverest of hose and hydraulic line clamping method, is a Marman Clamp fabricated from Nitinol, the weird “memory metal“. Notably used for the connection of high-pressure, high-temperature hydraulic lines for both the F-14 and F-16 military fighter jets, they were chilled in liquid nitrogen and stretched out large enough to clear the hose and flanges. After installation, they were heated in place so that they contracted, clamping the hose in place. Being both robust _and_ ultra-lightweight, this is the “perfect“ clamp!

I think he's trying to depict its flexibility (it can loosen a bit) in a dynamic system (as he is talking about it when showing the animation) rather than trying to show how it clamps.
Some of the screw ones also seem reversed

When your wife/girlfriend thinks you're watching p*rn... no, i really am learning about jubilee clips 😂
This is so brilliant!
I'd love to dive into the sources.
What an interesting documentary. Thanks for another quality video!
Phenomenally well done.
just what i needed
Made me think, the seemingly SIMPLE “hose clap” is the modern horse 🐎 shoe nail.
The battle was lost ‘cause the KING was lost
because the King’s horse 🐎 was lost !
The horse was lost ‘cause the horse shoe was lost
on account a horse 🐴 shoe nail went missing !!!
If manufacturers were transparent and trustworthy enough to inform me of the percentage of plastics vs metal parts their car is made up of, and they told me the full metal motor is 5% more expensive than the plastic hybrid one, I would say it's worth the cost. Plastic is fantastic for cheapness, but I fear we're really shovelling all that cost up into the future and it's piling up nice and high in the environment.
They want you to buy a new car from them again in 5 years. Offering reliability that lasts 30 years is bad for business.
@@denisl2760 I agree, although they could make programmed obsolescence out of any material, my point is that plastic just gets thrown out even by recycling facilities, because it's worthless.
@@allthe1 steel parts will still be easily replaceable even if they fail
plastic not so much, you try to disassemble other components to get to your part and all the plastic starts disintegrating
Another seemingly mundane topic you have made captivating, keep them coming. Thank you. Maybe you can show my humdrum biography someday and make it seam action packed!
Cheers
I *love* worm drive clamps,and don't always use them for their intended purpose. I have clamped large paint scrapers to the end of a long pole with a couple of clamps,and used the resulting tool for things like scraping the remains of hornet nests off a wall without the need for a ladder.
I found this video excellent to fall asleep to
Can't wait to bring up my newfound knowledge of hose clamps in normal conversation :P
At 14:00 the spring clamp movement is incorrect/opposite of what is shown.
Thank you, great job!
I used these all the time whether I need to or not.
You want I should give him the clamps, Boss?
Updoot for Futurama reference. I annoyed lots of people at work with that line back in the day. Or they just thought I was weird for laughing to myself about it.
Worm drive clamps are a bane. I've had to use these for decades. As a rookie you tighten them down, go a bit more.... and the teeth are distorted and it's no longer working. There should be a screwdriver torque control that clicks instead of strips -- but what's the proper torque? On boats like my sailboat all the thruhulls connect the ball valves to hoses with these things. They're used in pairs. They work until they don't and the boat sinks.
There is a clear need for better hose clamps. I've found stainless steel V Band (Marmen) clamps on Amazon for $21. A worm drive clamp same 1.5" diameter stainless steel is about $5. So 4x price. For my boat I think it would be worth having one bog standard clamp and one V Band for key fittings that are opened most often.
And yep Wikipedia says "The Marman clamp was first produced by Herbert Marx, better known by his stage name Zeppo Marx;[2][7] it was manufactured by his company, Marman Products from the 1930s.[8]"
there are torque specs and tools to torque worm drives. bleed air start machines push 60psi and enormous flow to start larger turbines and are connected with hoses that are sealed with worm drive clamps tightened to 8in/lbs on the ones i tinker on
You are applying far to much torque, or you are using the cheapest of clamps. Remember. Your lack of education does not change the complexities of the world around you.
Excellent report.
I never cared about hose clamps until I bought a boat and saw the condition of the 40-year-old clamps on below waterline thru-hulls.
Gee you forgot to mention my favorite clamp: Snap loc, a worm drive clamp that features a toggle feature that makes installation and removal easy. My least favorite clamp: Punch lock, though not a hose clamp but is used to fasten chairs onto a chairlift cable.
Fascinating. Congratulations. _LIKE_-d!
... However, you proffer the briefest attention to wound wire seizing which I think is short shrift to the technology of ropemaking and rope-tying, having a historic provenance of at least _30,000 years._ Yes, that number is correct.
In general, any and every application of any belay or attachment method had its analogy in rope and wire, used and refined for thousands of years -- until about only a century ago. Gone but not forgotten?
On the other end of the scale, the very cleverest of hose and hydraulic line clamping method, is a Marman Clamp fabricated from Nitinol, the weird “memory metal“. Notably used for the connection of high-pressure, high-temperature hydraulic lines for both the F-14 and F-16 military fighter jets, they were chilled in liquid nitrogen and stretched out large enough to clear the hose and flanges. After installation, they were heated in place so that they contracted, clamping the hose in place. Being both robust _and_ ultra-lightweight, this is the “perfect“ clamp!
Amazing how specialized they get, now I want to know about SpaceX's hose clamps
I'm 77 now I know why I hated some clamps and love others!
This video is prime example of how RUclips works.
I just finished watching a Super Mario Maker 2 video.
Now I'm watching a video of hose clamps.
Next video probably memes
