Reddit mentions: The best hose clamps

Yep! I use this one. I considered the one you linked, but got the metal one simply because it was cheaper at the time. Both would get the job done.


I have it connected to my k40 via 4" dryer hose and this flange hose fitting which fits perfectly in the slot on the back of the k40.


Used these clamps to secure the dryer tubing together.


As far as how well it works, I'm pretty satisfied. I have the exhaust blowing out a 4" fitting attached to a board I close in my window. I smell a little bit of burnt wood when cutting, but it's very minute. Almost all smoke goes out the window. The suction is very good, if I'm cutting card stock it occasionally sucks the small paper pieces right off the cutting bed. When I'm doing laser alignments, it almost completely eliminates the smell of burning masking tape during test firing even with the door open.

I just made a double keg setup out of two corny kegs, a Danby mini fridge, and a 5lb CO2 cylender. I'm using a single gauge regulator for now with a manual splitter so I can alter the CO2 and force carb one keg when I need to - but I wish I had a dual gauge/barb regulator to adjust both air lines.

Not sure what a temperature controller is? And please buy a decent regulator. It's like the power supply for your computer - you skimp and the whole thing shits the bed.

Also, buying something like this clamp kit will save a ton of time if something breaks or you want to fully swap out lines.

My biggest understanding item building it was the disconnect systems on the kegs. Most corny home brew systems are in/out post connections. Commercial kegs are sankey-type, which are completely incompatible with your ball-lock in/out post connections, so you'll need to swap ends to use a commercial.

You may want to switch out that Tailpiece with something like this one with a non-threaded Branch outlet that will better fit your hose. And if needed buy a hose clamp to securely keep it in place.

Handle - I picked this material because its 316L Stainless steel, out of all the metals it seems like its the "safest" to smoke from and it feels nice. Out of all the choices in dimensions I picked this one with something close to 3/8" inside diameter. I tried looking for one that had a decent wall thickness which this one did so I could get that heavy sturdy feel.

Hose - silicone tubing; I tried finding the cheapest one without sacrificing quality. OD is the same as the steel tubing so stretching this over should not be a problem.

hose grips - to bind both ends of the silicone tubing with the steel pipe

Not sure how this will turn out, I haven't purchased any of it yet, I figured I have the weekend to make adjustments and to see if I can find a better deal from reputable vendors and/or make adjustments to what to use.

Here is a link on amazon for a 3/16 swivel nut. The beer line goes over the 3/16 "barb". The "flare" end will screw right onto the pin lock disconnects you have in your setup. Use worm clamps to secure your line to the barb fitting on the swivel nut and the barb on your beer shank that's attached to your tap. Read about keg line balancing to see how long your line needs to be to get a good pour. Hope this helps!

I LOVE my Mash & Boil, especially after I upgraded it. Here are the things I bought for it to do my upgrade. It’s a good amount of money up front but worth it.

magic.

seriously, though. make some fasteners out of sheet metal that you can bolt to your oil pan bolts... or reuse the mounts that are there for the hardlines... or use mechanics wire.... or just say fuck it, and hang them with fishing string and hope for the best since it seems like that's all anyone on here ever does.

or do something like this:

You can go get a bunch of cheap hose clamps to use on it, one like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Ideal-Stainless-Steel-Clamp-Width/dp/B003D7KSKO
You'll just need to find ones big enough to fit around it. Use something like cardboard so they dont dig in to the edges of the timber too much.

I just finished up a fruit beer a couple weeks ago. To filter out the particles I used an aquarium micron bag and clamped it onto the end of the hose with one of these. All in all, it worked out pretty well.

My original crimp tool lasted about 6 or 7 years, and then I started to have some failures. I switched to Oetiker clamps and never looked back. As a bonus, they're way easier to remove.

I use these on my system. Silicone caulk to seal it, and a clamp to ensure it all gets held in place!

Clamps -Possible that you may vary in the size you need.

Silicone

Guaranteed air tight! And they are items almost any store carries!

Hose clamps aren't even the best at doing their jobs. Most of the time you hear of someone losing a coolant hose it's because it popped off!

The IDEAL clamp is a stainless T bolt clamp like linked here.

Sure, that should work. Just make sure that you clamp down all your hoses and double- and triple-check for leaks. Keep some extra hose clamps on hand. They should be super tight, but not so tight that they cut through the tubing.

I suggest this Gates Fuel Line Hose instead. It's top quality reinforced hose. I also suggest these hose clamps. That petcock seems OK. It should be replaced because it will likely go out while you own it, and this might be why the scooter stopped running suddenly.

usually to eyelets on the frame. You could either use something like this to attach to your seatstays. Or one of these.

I was just about to buy a set of fancy new hose clamps. Will 3/8" tubing be a pain to get on/off every time? Should I look at 1/2" tubing for an easier solution or will that run too large in diameter?

try a few of these
http://www.amazon.com/Precision-Brand-B20HS-Stainless-Clamp/dp/B007Q4YD38/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1410393896&sr=8-7&keywords=hose+clamp they are 4 to 8 dollars (depending on the size) each but they are reusable so when you get done with them you can unscrew them and use them on a later project

or just go to http://www.amazonsupply.com/ and search for pipe/tube/cylindrical clamp and see what amazon has to offer

I've had that seat for 9 years. You never know what's going to happen in the city. I'll be prepared next time.

NO. That is not a lined clamps. Those opening will eventually eat up your hose. https://www.amazon.com/Precision-Brand-Shielded-Lined-Clamp/dp/B007Q4YD92 this is a lined clamp. It has a smooth shield to prevent hose chafing.


Edit: more info on lined clamps and why they are better. Buy cheap buy twice (or more)

Stock exhaust on there? Mine has hose clamps holding the exhaust cover on the pipes. One of them broke and had a similar sounding noise. Just went to Home Depot and found a replacement for a buck. Something similar to the link below.
