Browse our collection of expert clamp tech tips below to improve installation quality, prevent common mistakes, and maximize the performance and longevity of your clamp connections.
Murray Corporation's Tech Tips library provides practical engineering guidance to help you select, install, and maintain hose clamps for optimal performance across your applications. Drawing on over 100 years of clamping experience, our technical resources address the real-world questions and challenges that engineers, maintenance professionals, and procurement teams face when specifying and using industrial hose clamps.
Our Tech Tips cover a range of topics designed to help you get the most out of your clamping solutions. Topics include clamp selection guidance for specific applications and operating conditions, proper installation techniques for different clamp types, screw lubrication recommendations for worm gear and embossed clamps, spring-loaded T-bolt clamp installation procedures, material selection guidance for corrosive and high-temperature environments, and troubleshooting tips for common clamping issues.
Each Tech Tip is written by Murray's engineering team and reflects the practical knowledge gained from decades of designing and manufacturing clamping products for industries ranging from automotive and heavy-duty truck to marine, agricultural, and industrial process applications.
Even the best-engineered clamp will underperform if it is installed incorrectly. Common installation mistakes include over-tightening or under-tightening the clamp, positioning the clamp too close to a hose end or fitting bead, failing to lubricate screw mechanisms on certain clamp types, using the wrong clamp type or size for the application, and not accounting for thermal expansion in thermally cycling systems.
Murray's Tech Tips are designed to help you avoid these pitfalls and achieve reliable, long-lasting connections every time.
If you have a clamping question that is not addressed in our Tech Tips library, Murray's engineering team is available to help. We can review your application requirements, recommend the right clamp type and size, and provide installation guidance tailored to your specific conditions.
