hose clamps

Pipe grip rings

Hose clamps are adjustable metal bands used to secure hoses onto fittings, preventing leaks where fluids or gases flow under pressure.

The most common type uses a screw mechanism to tighten a slotted steel band: I need to replace the hose clamp on the radiator.

Also called hose clips in British English.
