Murray 17700344-10 #24 Worm Drive Clamp
Part Number: 17700344-10
Description
A stainless steel #24 size worm drive clamp from Murray’s 177 series. Provides reliable, adjustable tensioning for hose and pipe connections in pool, spa and plumbing systems.
Compatibility & Fitment
- #24 size corresponds to nominal clamp diameter opening of approximately 0.78" (20 mm) when fully tightened.
- Suitable for securing hose, tubing or fittings where reliable, corrosion-resistant clamping is required.
- Use when original clamp is corroded, loose, damaged or missing to maintain system integrity and prevent leaks.
Features & Specifications
- Material: 301 stainless-steel band and housing for excellent corrosion resistance in wet or highly chlorinated environments.
- Band width: standard 9 mm; worm-drive design allows incremental adjustment and strong clamping force.
- #24 size – ideal for smaller hoses or tubing commonly found in pool or spa returns, vac lines or low-pressure plumbing.
- Rounded edges and smooth band perforations reduce risk of hose damage during installation and vibration service cycles.
Installation Notes
Slide the clamp around the hose or tubing and insert the fitting. Position clamp band approximately 1/4" behind the barb or flange. Tighten the worm screw until the band is snug but not over-compressed. After system startup, inspect that the clamp remains flush and there is no movement or leak. Retighten as needed to maintain secure connection.
Maintenance Tip
During annual equipment inspection, check worm drive clamps for corrosion, loose screws, or band fatigue. Replace clamps that show visible wear or lose holding force, as compromised clamps may lead to leaks or equipment damage in pool systems.
