Description
The Mishimoto MMCLAMP-VS-15 is a 1.5in (38.1mm) stainless steel V-band clamp built specifically for fabricators who demand a rigid, repeatable connection between pipes. Unlike standard hose clamps, this V-band design uses interlocking counterbored flanges and a reusable fabrication nut to simplify mock-up before final welding, then locks down for good with the included self-locking nut. It’s a small but critical piece of hardware for anyone building custom intake, intercooler, or exhaust plumbing.
As a dedicated Mishimoto Fabrication component, this stainless-steel V-band clamp is engineered to provide stronger retention than other coupling methods while remaining easy to disassemble for parts that need frequent removal, such as turbochargers or charge pipes. The polished stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion even in harsh underhood environments, and the 360-degree clamping action seals the joint without the need for a gasket. Whether you’re fabricating a new exhaust system, connecting intercooler and charge pipes, or building a custom intake, this clamp gives you the flexibility to tack-weld, check fit, and finish welding with confidence, all backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
Vehicle Applications
This is a universal-fit fabrication clamp, not tied to a specific make, model, or year. It’s designed to work on any 1.5in (38.1mm) diameter pipe, making it suitable for custom stainless steel exhaust pipes, intercooler and charge pipes, intakes, and turbocharger connections across a wide range of fabrication projects.
