Description
The Mishimoto MMCLAMP-3T is a stainless steel Constant Tension T-Bolt Clamp engineered to secure hoses and couplers ranging from 2.87 to 3.19 inches (73mm to 81mm) in outer diameter. What sets this clamp apart from a standard T-bolt design is the spring built into the adjustment bolt, which allows the clamp to expand and contract with temperature swings while maintaining constant pressure on the connection it protects.
Built as part of Mishimoto’s Fabrication lineup, this T-bolt clamp delivers the superior clamping force that traditional T-bolt clamps are known for, then adds a layer of long-term reliability through its constant tension spring and self-locking nut. The self-locking nut resists loosening from vibration and movement, while the stainless steel construction is designed to resist corrosion for longer than zinc-plated alternatives. Whether you’re fabricating custom piping, securing couplers, or replacing a worn clamp on an existing hose connection, this clamp is built to hold its grip through repeated heat cycling.
Vehicle Applications
This is a universal Fabrication component rather than a vehicle-specific part, so it is not tied to a particular make, model, or year. Instead, it is intended for any application where a hose or coupler with an outer diameter between 2.87 and 3.19 inches (73mm to 81mm) needs a secure, temperature-tolerant clamping solution, making it a versatile choice for builders and fabricators working across a range of setups.
