V-band clamp only 3-1/2 in

The V-band clamp only 3-1/2 in from Stainless Works is a precision exhaust coupling component engineered for high-performance automotive applications. V-band clamps are essential connectors in turbocharger systems, intercooler piping, and custom exhaust builds where reliable, leak-free seals are non-negotiable. This clamp is designed for technicians and enthusiasts who require quick-disconnect joints that can withstand extreme temperatures and vibrations.

Constructed from stainless steel, this V-band clamp delivers superior corrosion resistance and thermal stability compared to mild steel alternatives—critical attributes when operating in high-heat exhaust environments or salt-laden conditions. The V-shaped band design distributes clamping force evenly across the flange interface, preventing the stress concentration that plagues traditional hose clamps. Weighing just 0.75 lbs, this clamp is compact yet robust, making it suitable for space-constrained engine bays.

The clamp-only configuration means it pairs with corresponding V-band male and female flanges (sold separately), giving builders complete modularity in system design. This clamp is ideal for turbo builders, intercooler upgrades, and custom intake manifold fabrication where repeated assembly and disassembly are expected. Its design ensures reliability and ease of use in various automotive applications.
