Constant tension band hose clamp for the intake tube

[riobison]

Is any one using Constant tension band hose clamp for the intake tube?

Im using them on my oil return lines from my rocker boxes and in 3 yrs not a drop and zero maintenance.

Any reason why we wouldn't want to use them on the intake tubes?

Thanks

Tim

Yep using them on my IO320.

Kit from SDS has the hose and the clamps. The pipe to head "O" ring setup is simply fantastic.

All working fine.

Can you tell me what size clamps you used on the rocker box oil return lines and maybe provide a link if possible.

Thanks.

I just took the hose to the local NAPA store, they got me the correct size clamps-----possibly for a fuel injection setup IIRC.

I got these links from another VAF thread. I bought them but have not installed. Please use due diligence to make sure they fit.

Same as others above, I installed the SDS intake kit for my IO-540. Excellent product, highly recommend.

Grainger for constant tension clamp (P/N CTB-19ST FK) on 6000-6 tubing for oil return lines. At 270 hour I had leaks from the Lycoming new parts which this instantly corrected.

Part numbers

For Rocker box oil return I used:

For Intake Tubes I used:

The intake tube clamps I got from SDS when I bought their intake kit to better seal the intake tubes to the heads. That kit is not inexpensive, but it is very nicely engineered and built.

The link to the clamps in that post was outdated and I just edited it. You'll want to get 16mm clamps instead of the 17mm ones the old URL went to.

16 or 17 mm wouldn't fit on my hose. You will need to confirm the specs on the hose and the clamps to ensure a proper fit.

Mine from Belmetric fit perfect.

The 16mm clamp is specifically to fit the Gates power steering return hose.

Which hose did you end up using?

Thanks Mike, good idea!

Are these little clamps really $10 each? The Amazon link listed them for right at $10. I thought it was probably for a box of at least ten, but that price appears to be for each one. They must have an FAA certified sticker on them somewhere.
