Product description and what’s included
<div class="pdp-buying-guide"> <h2>Choose the right T-bolt clamp for silicone hose couplers</h2> <p>The Exoracing stainless steel T-bolt clamp is designed to secure silicone hose couplers on boost pipes, intercooler pipes, intake pipes and turbo pipework. It provides a stronger, more even clamping force than a standard worm-drive hose clip and helps stop silicone couplers slipping, leaking or blowing off under boost.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Use this for:</strong> silicone hose couplers, intercooler pipework, intake pipework, turbo pipework and boost-pipe joins.</li> <li><strong>Choose a size by:</strong> measuring the outside diameter of the silicone hose once it is fitted over the pipe.</li> <li><strong>Material:</strong> high-grade 304 stainless steel with a nylon locking nut.</li> <li><strong>Included:</strong> one Exoracing 304 stainless steel T-bolt clamp, one locking nut and the Exoracing lifetime warranty.</li> <li><strong>Reason to fit now:</strong> replace weak, damaged or missing hose clips before increasing boost, fitting an intercooler or chasing a boost leak.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Important:</strong> Do not choose the clamp from pipe size alone. Silicone hose wall thickness changes the outside diameter, so measure the hose after it is fitted over the pipe wherever possible.</p> </div> <h2>Product Description</h2> <p>Boost leaks and silicone couplers blowing off are common problems on turbocharged and supercharged cars. A weak, damaged or poorly fitting clamp can allow the hose to move under pressure, especially as the pipework heats up or the engine moves under load.</p> <p>The Exoracing T-bolt clamp uses a 304 stainless steel band and locking nut to hold silicone hose couplers securely around compatible pipework. It is suitable for intake, intercooler, turbo and boost-pipe connections where a strong and even clamping force is required.</p> <p>A properly selected clamp helps keep the joint sealed and reduces the risk of lost boost, unstable running and repeated fault finding. These clamps are also suitable for non-automotive applications where the stated size range, temperature range and stainless-steel construction meet the requirements of the job.</p> <h2>Why Choose an Exoracing T-Bolt Clamp?</h2> <p>A T-bolt clamp spreads its clamping force around the silicone coupler and is better suited to performance pipework than a light-duty worm-drive clip. The stainless-steel construction resists corrosion, while the nylon locking nut helps prevent the clamp working loose through vibration and heat cycles.</p> <p>Use the clamp on a correctly sized silicone hose and, on boost pipework, position it behind a beaded pipe end wherever possible. This gives the hose and clamp a positive edge to work against and further reduces the chance of the coupler moving under pressure.</p> <h2>How a T-Bolt Clamp Compares with a Standard Hose Clip</h2> <p>A standard worm-drive hose clip can be suitable for low-pressure jobs, but it may struggle on boosted silicone hose couplers where pressure, vibration and repeated heat cycles try to move the hose off the pipe.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Choose a T-bolt clamp when:</strong> the hose is part of a boosted intake, intercooler, turbo or supercharger pipe setup.</li> <li><strong>Choose a standard hose clip when:</strong> the application is low pressure and does not require the heavier clamping force of a T-bolt design.</li> <li><strong>For boost pipework:</strong> use beaded pipe ends wherever possible to give the coupler additional mechanical retention.</li> </ul> <h2>What’s Included</h2> <ul> <li>1 x Exoracing 304 stainless steel T-bolt clamp</li> <li>1 x Exoracing 304 stainless steel locking nut</li> <li>Exoracing lifetime warranty</li> </ul> <h2>Features</h2> <ul> <li>Secures silicone hose couplers on boost, intake and intercooler pipework</li> <li>Helps stop silicone couplers slipping, leaking or blowing off under boost</li> <li>Manufactured from high-grade 304 stainless steel</li> <li>Nylon locking nut helps prevent the clamp loosening through vibration</li> <li>Stronger upgrade over a standard worm-drive hose clip for boosted applications</li> <li>Available in clamp ranges for common 2.0-inch to 4.0-inch pipework</li> <li>Operating temperature range from -60°C to 180°C</li> <li>Suitable for automotive, performance, motorsport and compatible industrial use</li> </ul> <h2>Installation Guide</h2> <p>Correct sizing and careful tightening are the two most important parts of fitting a T-bolt clamp. Measure the complete hose-and-pipe joint rather than choosing from the nominal pipe size alone.</p> <h3>Which T-Bolt Clamp Size Should I Choose?</h3> <p>Fit the silicone hose over the pipe, then measure the outside diameter of the hose where the clamp will sit. Choose the clamp range that includes that measurement. For example, if the fitted hose measures 70mm outside diameter, choose the 67–75mm clamp range.</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Common Pipe Size</strong></td> <td><strong>Clamp Range</strong></td> <td><strong>Typical Use</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>2.0 inch</strong></td> <td>52–62mm</td> <td>Small boost pipes, intake joins and compact intercooler pipework</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>2.25 inch</strong></td> <td>60–68mm</td> <td>Common intake, turbo and boost-pipe joins</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>2.5 inch</strong></td> <td>67–75mm</td> <td>Common performance intercooler and turbo pipework</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>2.75 inch</strong></td> <td>73–81mm</td> <td>Larger boost pipes and intake setups</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>3.0 inch</strong></td> <td>79–87mm</td> <td>Common large-bore intake and intercooler pipework</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>3.5 inch</strong></td> <td>92–100mm</td> <td>Large intake, charge-pipe and custom pipework setups</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>4.0 inch</strong></td> <td>105–113mm</td> <td>Large-bore intake, turbo and fabrication applications</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3>T-Bolt Clamp Installation Guide</h3> <ol> <li>Fit the silicone hose coupler fully over the pipe.</li> <li>Measure the outside diameter of the fitted hose where the clamp will sit.</li> <li>Choose the clamp range that covers the measured diameter.</li> <li>Place the clamp behind the bead on the pipe wherever possible.</li> <li>Tighten the clamp evenly until the hose is secure.</li> <li>Do not overtighten the clamp, as this can damage the hose or strip the thread.</li> <li>Recheck the clamp after the first heat cycle or test drive.</li> </ol> <p><strong>Installation difficulty:</strong> straightforward DIY for accessible intake and intercooler pipework.

The warranty applies to the clamp under normal use and does not cover damage caused by incorrect sizing, overtightening, cross-threading or unsuitable installation.</p> <h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2> <h3>How do I choose the correct T-bolt clamp size?</h3> <p>Measure the outside diameter of the silicone hose after it has been fitted over the pipe. Choose the clamp range that includes the complete measured diameter.</p> <h3>Should I choose by pipe size or hose outside diameter?</h3> <p>Choose by the outside diameter of the fitted hose. The nominal pipe size does not include the silicone hose wall thickness, which can vary between hoses and manufacturers.</p> <h3>Are these clamps sold individually or as a pair?</h3> <p>Each purchase includes one Exoracing T-bolt clamp. Order two clamps if you need to secure both ends of one silicone coupler.</p> <h3>Are T-bolt clamps better than standard hose clips?</h3> <p>For boosted intake, turbo and intercooler pipework, a correctly sized T-bolt clamp normally provides a stronger and more even clamping force than a standard worm-drive clip.</p> <h3>Can I use these clamps on intercooler pipework?</h3> <p>Yes. They are intended for compatible silicone hose couplers used on intake, boost, turbo and intercooler pipework.</p> <h3>Do I need beaded pipe ends?</h3> <p>Beaded pipe ends are strongly recommended for boost pipework because the bead helps stop the silicone hose sliding off the pipe under pressure.</p> <h3>How tight should the clamp be?</h3> <p>Tighten the clamp evenly until the hose is secure and cannot move on the pipe. Do not overtighten it, as excessive force can damage the silicone hose or strip the clamp thread.</p> <h3>Should I recheck the clamp after fitting?</h3> <p>Yes. Recheck the clamp after the first heat cycle or test drive because the hose and joint can settle after initial use.</p> <h3>Can I use these clamps for non-automotive applications?</h3> <p>Yes, provided the selected clamp range, temperature range, stainless-steel material and clamping method are suitable for the application.</p> <div class="exo-v2-related-source-grid"> <div class="exo-v2-related-source-card is-current"><img src="https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-2qhgaelfmo/products/310/images/60885/exoracing-intercooler-t-clamp-silicone-boost-piping-4__52688.1778774444.386.513.JPG?c=2" alt="Exoracing stainless steel T-bolt clamp fitted to silicone hose coupler" width="386" height="513" /> <span class="exo-v2-related-source-eyebrow">Cooling system</span> <h3 class="exo-v2-related-source-title">Exoracing T-Bolt Clamp Silicone Hose Coupler</h3> <p class="exo-v2-related-source-text">Stops silicone couplers blowing off</p> <a href="#exo-v2-buy">Choose this product</a></div> <div class="exo-v2-related-source-card"><img src="https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-2qhgaelfmo/products/25695/images/85988/exoracing-silicone-vacuum-hose__73753.1757951563.386.513.jpg?c=2" alt="Exoracing Black Silicone Vacuum Hose 4/5/6mm" width="386" height="513" /> <span class="exo-v2-related-source-eyebrow">Cooling system</span> <h3 class="exo-v2-related-source-title">Exoracing Black Silicone Vacuum Hose 4/5/6mm</h3> <p class="exo-v2-related-source-text">Flexible vacuum hose for tidy engine bay routing</p> <a href="../../../../exoracing-black-silicone-vacuum-hose-4-5-6mm/">View product</a></div> <div class="exo-v2-related-source-card"><img src="https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-2qhgaelfmo/products/325/images/84833/B16_Civic_Coolant_Hose_Kit_Black_1__67355.1779125077.386.513.jpg?c=2" alt="Exoracing 6pc silicone hose kit for Honda Civic Integra B16 B18" width="386" height="513" /> <span class="exo-v2-related-source-eyebrow">Cooling system</span> <h3 class="exo-v2-related-source-title">Exoracing Silicone Hose Kit For Honda Civic B16 B18 6pc</h3> <p class="exo-v2-related-source-text">6pc hose kit for B16/B18 layouts</p> <a href="../../../../exoracing-silicone-hose-kit-for-honda-civic-b16-b18-6pc/">View product</a></div> <div class="exo-v2-related-source-card is-insulate"><img src="https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-2qhgaelfmo/products/10584/images/85973/Exoracing_silicone_heat_sleeve_main__52031.1778768056.386.513.jpg?c=2" alt="Exoracing silicone fibreglass high temperature heat sleeve black 0.5m" width="386" height="513" /> <span class="exo-v2-related-source-eyebrow">Heat management</span> <h3 class="exo-v2-related-source-title">Exoracing Silicone Fibreglass High Temperature Heat Sleeve 0.5m</h3> <p class="exo-v2-related-source-text">Stops heat damage to hoses and wiring</p> <a href="../../../../exoracing-silicone-fibreglass-high-temperature-heat-sleeve-0-5m/">View product</a></div> </div>
