Wave Seal Clamps

Did you know hoses can leak when there is a wide variation in underhood temperatures? This thermal expansion and contraction loosens hose clamps over time. And when leaks happen, it is usually something critical. But the engineers at Ideal Clamp Products, Inc. have solved this problem by designing a new hybrid smart clamp. Now you can purchase a hose clamp that self-adjusts to the changing underhood environment. It’s a whole new way to think about connections because WaveSeal360 ® clamps:

• Utilize a patented sealing ring technology that self adjusts automatically as thermal cycling occurs
• Expand or contract as the sealed joint changes, maintaining a constant, steady pressure 360 degrees around the connection
• Are much lighter, smarter and more compact than T-bolt and Belleville clamps
• Are all stainless steel construction

Discover the Holding Power of WaveSeal360® Clamps

Thermal cycling, cold flow and temperature fluctuations are among the main reasons leaks occur. The uniquely engineered profile of the IDEAL-TRIDON® WaveSeal360 hybrid smart clamp secures hose connections and prevents the unwanted flow of fluid and air. Through its patented hybrid technology, this next generation clamp seals in a steady 360-degree pattern in response to pressure and temperature changes. And with its compact design and lower profile, you get an optimal heavy-duty constant tension clamp without all the bulk.

How WaveSeal³⁶⁰ Clamp Systems Beat Standard Clamps

IDEAL-TRIDON WaveSeal³⁶⁰ Clamp Systems were designed in response to the leakage attributed to thermal cycling, plus today’s challenging lighter weight and space constraints.

Integrated Two-Piece Design

WaveSeal360 Clamps are comprised of two main parts, the clamp assembly and the wave ring

• The wave ring is high quality stainless steel and inside the clamp
• Specifically tempered, thin gauge steel reacts to temperatures
• Becomes a smart clamp on the hose, expanding or contracting with temperatures
• The clamp rides on this ring so pressure is more evenly distributed around the hose

Tested Tough

Recent leak pressure tests show that WaveSeal360 Clamp Systems perform better in thermal cycling than typical constant tension clamps. Further testing revealed WaveSeal360 Clamp Systems perform even better over time when compared to other leading brands in the same category.

IDEAL-TRIDON WaveSeal360 Clamp Systems are engineered to last longer, and perform better than old-school clamps in the most demanding environments.
