		The Quality Choice of Demanding Professionals The original patented BREEZE^® aircraft worm-gear clamp with heavy strength 4-piece construction is now available in a ½ inch band width for automotive, general purpose, industrial and heavy-duty applications. This new BREEZE^® clamp is a significant upgrade from common 3-piece worm-gear designs, delivering the ultimate in quality and value!

Compare the Best with the Rest!

BREEZE Stainless Steel 4-Piece Housing Design

	Quadra-Lock® - 4 pieces locked together provide strength and stability Housing guides screw to run tangent to band 300 series stainless housing and saddle ‘clinched’ at 4 points virtually eliminates housing ‘lift’ and ‘twist’ Saddle interlocks into band for even greater strength

OTHER Housing Designs

	Carbon-plated housing is inferior material susceptible to corrosion, not as strong as stainless Weld design prone to rust, corrosion, and failure Failure usually occurs after installation

	Non-consistent fit, split in interlock and thinner tabs vulnerable to rupture under torque No clearance between screw and housing can permit false installation torques

BREEZE Stainless Steel Bands

Concave band seals from center to outside resulting in a uniform seal	300 Series Stainless Arcial Slots – More steel between perforations for added strength and smoother worm-gear engagement

OTHER Stainless Steel Bands

Straight band seals from edges to center biting into hose on installation	Some use type 201 or lower grade stainless steels – more prone to corrosion especially between the perforations Transverse slots – - cause rough worm-gear engagement - less steel between slots means less torque strength Non-uniform band thicknesses cause inconsistencies in strength

BREEZE Screws

	Sharply defined hex angles for better grip Triple header hex permits versatile installation Buttressed screw thread reinforced for extra strength and smoother engagement More threads per screw for increased torque strength Thicker, stronger shaft Shoulder prevents jamming into housing Plated series uses superior yellow dichromate

OTHER Screws

	Small diameter collar limits tools for installation No shoulder on hex allows jamming Straight threads, not reinforced

	Rounded corners can allow hex to strip out Burrs interfere with smooth tightening Minimum spec plating prone to rust more quickly

BREEZE Circumferential Pressure

	QC’d to comply with military std. specs for circumferential pressure without leakage Even distribution of sealing pressure with no excessive pressure points Higher sealing pressure with lower applied torque

OTHER Circumferential Pressure

	Leakage area under worm-gear due to possible uneven housings Need higher torque to achieve same sealing pressure Uneven pressure as a result of housing distortion
