#6 Pro-Clamp Hose End

The AEROQUIP #6 Pro-Clamp Hose End (FCM1002) is a worm gear-type hose clamp specifically engineered for 6 AN hose applications in high-performance fluid systems. Constructed from red anodized aluminum with a hexagonal wrench attachment point, this clamp delivers the secure, repeatable clamping action required in aerospace, automotive, and industrial hydraulic installations where vibration, pressure cycling, and thermal stress demand absolute reliability.

The worm gear mechanism allows precise tension adjustment and uniform load distribution around the hose perimeter, preventing the stress concentration points common to single-bolt designs. AEROQUIP's Pro-Clamp lineup is engineered to work seamlessly with SAE AN hose standards, where the #6 designation corresponds to -6 AN hose (3/8-inch ID nominal). The hex-head design permits tool-assisted tightening in confined spaces where fingertight access is impossible, and the anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion in wet environments while keeping weight minimal—critical in weight-sensitive applications like motorsports and aircraft systems.

This clamp is essential for builders and technicians assembling custom hydraulic lines, fuel systems, or coolant circuits where OEM hose routing and pressure ratings demand a fastener rated for professional service. It's commonly used in street rod fuel systems, race car hydraulic lines, heavy equipment repair, and aerospace maintenance. The compact footprint (2.35 × 1.1 × 3.7 inches) and light weight (0.05 lbs) make it easy to position in tight engine bays and panel sections without adding measurable mass to the finished assembly.

Sold individually, each clamp can be paired with complementary hose barbs, adapters, and additional clamps to complete a full circuit. Builders working with AN hose systems should verify clamp compatibility with their specific hose diameter and pressure rating before installation.
